Only becuase I had nothing else, and because a) I really laughed, and b) it goes with the daily bread quote. For your viewing pleasure, I give you this:

project status
"we accidentally destroyed the french satelite and are now at war with france. On a positive note our headcount expenses are trending downward."
It's been a great last many days. I know I promised to post more often, and I will continue to strive to do better. In the meantime, let's see if I might catch you up a bit...
Last Thursday:
Rise and Shout! BYU rocked - 'nuff said.
Last Friday:
TK, SK and I took the day off and traveled to Satan's summer home (aka Rice Eccles Stadium) to watch the state High School 4A semi finals. We had a great time hanging out together, and we saw lots of other PHS fathers and sons there too.
Too bad Box Elder fell apart in the 4th quarter - it was a heart breaker for them, but Highland was able to capitalize and come back to win in overtime 24-21. (It was 21-7 Box Elder at the start of the 4th quarter...)
Timpview D managed to save the team's collective bacon and keep them in it to the end. They held East twice in the redzone, giving Timpview the win 10-7. Provo represents yo. My prediction? Timpview will easily beat Highland in the 'ship this week.
While at the game I also ran in to a friend from high school who was there with his son. It was great to see him and spend 10-15 minutes catching up. He lives across town, but we don't see each other all that often so it's a genuine pleasure when we do. Turns out that SK and his son were good friends when they both attended Farrer in 7th grade, who knew?
Also on Friday TK took off for California with my younger sister. Thursday night my brother-in-law had called and invited TK to attend the USC - Oregon game with him on Saturday night. Meg heard and said "I've been wanting to get out of town anyway, I'll take him down there", so off they went.
Last Saturday
I got somewhat caught-up on all the church responsibilities (I figure I'm only a couple of weeks behind now - whew) and spent a couple of hours at the church with the primary kids (including QK and Baby Girl) as they prepared for the primary program on Sunday. I love being able to watch the practice, and then the real thing to see the difference.
They really come together on Sunday, no matter the stumbles they have on Saturday. The Lord loves and blesses His little ones for sure, and nothing seems to bring the Spirit quite as quickly as hearing them sing and bear testimony.
In the evening La Reine and I went out with friends and had a nice dinner and fab conversation. It was great to get back into the regular dating schedule now that football is over for the year.
TK also called to report on trip status and the game. He thought it was pretty funny to hang with his uncle and his game crew (my brother-in-law is named Troy in honor of USC - their family is fans of USC like we are of BYU, and yet I didn't name any of my kids Cosmo...), and it was made more interesting by the fact that Troy is a fairly recent convert and his crew still parties like it's 1999. At one point Troy's godfather turned to TK and said "boy hold this for a minute", handed TK his cigar (still lit) while he put on his game shirt. TK said that by the end he was getting just a bit overwhelmed by all the cigar smoke and beer fumes, but that it was worth it to sit in the coliseum and watch USC romp the ducks. (As an aside, TK is a huge football fan, his favorite teams are Florida, Oregon, BYU, and way, way down the list, USC... So he had to be a little careful not to accidentally cheer for Oregon)
It was homecoming for USC and so there was lots of stuff to see and do and a veritable plethora of "hot chicks dad". All in all a great time.
Last Sunday:
The Primary program was a highlight, so was spending time with La Reine's family celebrating birthdays.
I'm looking forward to changing church schedule in the new year so that we have more time for extended family activities in the afternoon's and evenings (I average getting home about 6:30 on Sunday night).
Today:
Hope you enjoy Walt Whitman week.
And, as usual, the fam is fab, life is grand, and my heart is full of joy.
warmest regards,

Get out the vote
Good thing I saw this, I nearly voted for Billy. Or I would have it Utah County polling hadn't been down this morning - aargh. I'm totally doing the early polling next go round.
