Take a Vacation

[Joe Public]

A whole month in Perth?

[Pelado]

The list isn't in order, as it were, but more of how I went around the map.

Can you at least share which of them you intend for February, which are for 30-day months, and which ones get the 31-day treatment?

A whole month in Perth?

Imagine each place as a launching point for other adventures, especially birding.

And is your wife also into birding?

We'll be heading to Nauvoo the first week of July as part of our summer vacation. Also Palmyra, Kirtland, and Independence.

My aunt and uncle run the whole Nauvoo pageant. Let me know if you want to stick around an extra week and play Joseph Smith! Several of my cousins use it as an excuse every summer to grow a beard for a few weeks. What a sad life.

Aren't the pageants going away, though? My wife is making us go to the Manti pageant this year since its the last time they're doing it.

WHat is so sad about that?

WHat is so sad about that?

Needing an 'excuse' to grow a beard, chiefly. It goes another level deeper when that excuse involves moving to Nauvoo and having to play in the Nauvoo pageant. Had the premise been 'let's go kick it in Nauvoo this summer, play in the pageant, it'll be good times:' Not sad.

The Mesa Easter pageant is going full steam ahead as soon as they finish the new temple complex.

Hmmm. That seems pretty judgy. But whatever.

I thought I heard this was the last year for it, though. Did I mis-hear?

They in fact didn't do it this year because the whole 4-block area is going to be a big construction project for a few years. It'll be back on whenever they finish everything up.

I am with creekster. This is a condescending take.

What's so condescending about it? I'm saying be upfront about your beard and upfront about your intentions to do the pageant and none of it is sad.


If you're saying I'm talking down to people who actually need a summer-altering excuse to have a beard, you're probably right. Not only that, I think I'm actually giving Dwight's cousins more of the benefit of the doubt than he is.

[Commando]

AH, yes, someone doesnt want to live their life exactly as I thik they should means they are worthy of speaking down to.

I'm sure you never talk down to people who do dumb or irrational things. If Dwight's cousins are attending BYU and they actually DO literally need an excuse to have a beard, then I'll retract my earlier condescension.
