My friend would like to have this on his license plate. Currently, the slogan is Utah: The Greatest Snow on Earth.

THANKS to each of you for your support and advice. I am considering my options. This is a lousy time to try to sell my condo, maybe I could rent it out or something. I have also considered the possibility of moving out of Utah during the winter months and returning for the summers. I do know that when I am away from Utah my anxiety levels are reduced! Seriously!

RELIEF SOCIETY: Paul, you are right about trying to make changes from within. For years I used Relief Society, first in the Ward and then in the Stake as a platform to get women thinking about issues from their own perspective and not the church’s or their spouses. I had a small measure of success but eventually I had a Bishop who said that the men in my ward wanted to lynch me. True story. Of course this reaction from the priesthood stemmed from a particular incident, which I could share but is long and maybe boring to some.

POLITICS: Josh your insight is appreciated. You are young and energetic, I believe you represent the new face of homosexuality in Utah and I am glad we have someone like you working on behalf of the others. In one of the letters to the editor in the SL Tribune today, someone wrote that the Dinosaurs of the legislator will eventually be silenced as the younger generation comes of age and policies change over time with the rise of a new generation. I hope that is true………..

MEANWHILE, Some Ass in the legislature from Provo would like to conduct a study to see if it would be possible to tax caffeine next session. He considers himself a ” social caffeine” drinker. Is that like having an occasional cocktail at social events but against alcohol?

NATIVE AMERICAN TREASURES: One more thing and then I will change my tune. A very exciting discovery was made in Draper, ruins of a three thousand years old Native American village with countless artifacts, and an amazing opportunity to learn more about this ancient civilization. Too bad it stands in the path of a current development project for the city. To cut a long story short, arguments were made and the legislature has has made it possible for this amazing historically important find to be paved over in the name of progress ARGH!!!!!!

CRAIG: you crack me up! Have you thought about writing a sit-com?

ALLISON, KRISTIN and ROBERT: I love the Pacific North West, it reminds me of England in many ways. I have also spent several summers in Connecticut, Boston and New York, while visiting several other New England states. I love CT. especially, the seaside communities. So many decisions, so little time.

THANKS AGAIN TO EACH OF YOU.

Kathy - you’re so sweet and thoughtful to everyone in your life. No wonder we all love you. (and yes - my agent is working on the sit-com deal now). If you do the winter/summer thing make the summer place close to us so that we see a lot of you! By the way, we always have the cabin that is ready for single (or double for that matter) occupancy. Rates are very reasonable - just a nice bottle of Red and good conversation.

by the way…are you going to the library for access or is your laptop up and runnning?

Such a shame about paving over the Indian settlement. There should be a federal law that protects those kinds of sites from exciteable Republican state legislators.

My computer is still in intensive care. I have been using John and Jen’s whenever I am over here. It’s a pain, but I hope to be back on track soon. Thanks for asking.

I don’t know what the first sentence of the above post is about!
Craig, Allison and I would love to come and see you and Paul this summer. I will provide the wine, Allison the good conversation.

you are soooo funny in such a self deprecating way. LOL (that’s the first time I’ve ever typed “LOL” I feel like such a bona fide blogger!)
