Mormons

Hey Kids,

I like to think I’m adventurous.

In the hospital next to where I work, there are actual escalators descending down to the cafeteria level. Sometimes, I use the stairs to go down. Other times I’ll use them to walk up. I’m pretty proud of myself.

And then I learn what others have done.

There is a proposal to establish a state park in a place called the Hole in the Rock. It’s where a group of Mormon settlers took a short cut and ended up descending down a 2000 foot crack in the canyon rim with grades from 25 to 45 degrees. In wagons. 83 of them. And 1000 head of livestock.

Hole in the Rock, Utah

Well, sometimes I take the stairs down AND back up on the same visit.

Post 3-050

Hey Kids,

I have erased this blog post three times now.

I wrote about NaNoWriMo. In short, it feels good to just let loose on a first draft. Editing is the hardest part of writing and first drafting in the most fun. A month long forced habit of free writing feels liberating. I love it.

I also tried to write about the reveled policy changes my church leadership made Friday. The wake of it has my Facebook feed lit up like a Christmas tree. Many of my Friends are very upset, and many others are towing the line and defending the leadership, willing to give the benefit of the doubt in terms of intentions. I don’t understand it but I don’t think it was done in hate. I do feel it came across as lacking the compassion and I don’t agree with the reasoning. I’m also not really willing to debate.

So in the end, I am left to what was left for the rest of the weekend: football.

My college team won and moved up in the polls. Go Utes.

My pro team lost in a close one. Raiders still on the rise.

For not much of a blog post, I seemed to have filled the page.

NaNoWriMo: 13,567/50,000

Ask a man a question and he'll give you an answer; give him a blog and he may never shut up.
