%$#!!!! snowing again

You know, the good lord has a sick sense of humor. Just as it was starting to thaw out and I could look forward to the snow dissapearing from the ground I wake up to what... %$#* snow! I am getting so tired of this crap it isn't even funny.

Yesterdays sacrament meeting was funny

They had the organist and her husband as speakers at sacrament meeting in church yesterday. They had us sing four hymns and spoke about raising our voices in a joyfull noise to heaven. As usual I followed along and kept quiet. The organists husband made a comment about people not singing and how music was a gift to us from heaven. I found this funny as in truth NOT singing was my gift to the rest of the congregation. I sound like an out of tune bag pipe being stomped on by and angry hippo when I sing. About the only thing my singing has ever been proved useful for is to drive mice out of a building (people too!) Perhaps if the good lord wanted me to raise my voice in joyfull music he might have thought to give me a better singing voice.

A snowy lesson

An Interesting thing happened to me this morning that I will remember for a long time to come. It snowed again last night adding another three inches to our already frozen little town. To top that off, I wasn't sleeping to well this morning, mainly because my wife had pirated all of the blankets and had them neatly wrapped around her like a catipillar's cocoon. Having decided that any chances for a warm morning had pretty much went the way of the dodo, I crawled out of bed and went to shovel snow before the kids got up for school. As I was out there grumbling about the snow and cold, I was taught a lesson about why things happen for a reason in a most unexpected way. My neighbor from across the street, a fellow whom I had always thought disliked me for some reason, brought his snow plow over and helped me dig out my drive. As he drove back over to his house, I stood there in the frosty air of the morning with the realization that if it had never snowed this day, I would never have known what a nice guy my neighbor truely was. Humbled by the realization, I don't think I will be grumbling about the snow any more.

I have made it through another season

Well Christmas wasn't as bad as I thought it would be this year. The kids had a good time and my oldest boy was able to join us for the festivities. So here I sit pondering tomorrow and all it's implications. I turn 40 just after midnight tonight. It seems not so long ago when I was eager to turn 21 and now time has flown right past that. There were a lot of things that I wanted to do when I was younger that I never took the opportunity to do. Oh well I still have a few years to do them yet. Tomorrow I have to drive 53 miles, and bring my birth certificate, social security card, current utility bills, DNA test, Spy satellite footage showing me on my home toilet, and proof that I have sacrificed my first bourn to the drivers license division so I can get my drivers licence renewed. I swear that this country has gone a bit overboard on the anti terror precautions. Besides, who the hell would want to terrorize Utah? All that lives here is a few mormons, BLM agents and scattered lizzards. Everyone else has better sense than to live in this blasted hellhole.
