Random Stuff

In response to Catherine's query, I exercised on the NordicTrac five days this last week. I think the Boot Camp sounds interesting so I might try that tomorrow morning.

We listened to Andrew speak in the Sandy Hills Ward today. He did a very nice job as always.

I thought this was really interesting.

It was very foggy this morning, but now it is starting to burn off. They say that starting tomorrow we will be getting rid of the inversion that has been with us seemingly forever. One can only hope.

Mom and I have been asked to speak next week in our home Ward. How fun. We have been asked to speak on Pres. Uctdorf (sp?)'s talk on Learning and Work. Mom immediately announced she would talk about learning and I would talk about work. I worked on my talk during Stake Conference today (only in my head, not anything obvious) during the boring bits. I am not sure how the talk will be since I think I am really a pretty lazy fellow, but maybe this will inspire me to new heights (think foothills not mountains) of effort.

Speaking of Stake Conference, Mom was yapping away with some folks about genealogy after the meeting, so I decided to duck out and find the bathroom. I found the men's and women's rooms down the hall by the drinking fountain. I went in and looked around and wondered why the bathroom had no urinal (I bet you can see where this is going). So, I used the stall and came out. As I was washing my hands the door opened and this woman in a wheel chair started to come in. Needless to say I was very embarrassed to realize that I was in the women's room. Which is a funny story, but not as funny or embarrassing as the time I was in Japan on the Student Exchange program and was using the urinal in a hotel bathroom when a Japanese girl from our party entered the room and proceeded to enter the stall. Very shocking. It was, it turned out, a co-ed bathroom which I was informed was not uncommon even at Western Style Hotels.

Whew, I'm glad I got all of that stuff off my chest.
