I learned in church today

[Jeff Lebowski]

not me, any more.

That's funny. A GD mic drop.

I loved my time as a GD teacher. I do like it better not having a ward calling. By the time I am released/retired/kicked out, I will hopefully be able to slide back in as a choir director. By the way, in keeping with the thread, I learned that the mandatory retirement age is not soon enough for some. I sat in front of a guy who had last all control of his vibrato today. To think that the choir used to all sound like him.

I was watching some conference the other day and asked mrs. myboynoah if they make MTC members retest every year to remain in The Choir. She didn't know. Do you?

No. once you are in you are in unless you lose your ecclesiastical endorsement, fall under the attendance requirement (you get plenty of warning and probationary treatment before that happens), or hit the mandatory retirement criteria (20 years or age 60, whichever comes first). There may be exceptions but that is the general rule.

one of the bishopric sidled up to me and released me right before RS today.

That sounds hot.

When I was at the family reunion 2 weeks ago, I overheard my sister telling my cousin's husband that she served as RS president for 18 years straight. Straight! And after that she moved directly into Primary President for 8 years, then YW president for 8 years straight. Who cares if she experiments with the occasional long island iced tea now, she's put in her time. What a saint.

This is called foreshadowing. In the next scene, Katy is in an AA meeting trying to get sober.

The 24 year streak ended yesterday and it went well. One of the comments after, "Best Sacrament meeting we've had in years". The bicycle analogy of riders dropping and others going back to pick them up seemed to work. The highlight of my wife's talk was her telling about going through California two weeks ago and seeing a Coexist bumper sticker and how that seemed to be a good idea. Both were very much "Big Tent" talks.

Next stop: Bishopric

Is there an HC? Brother Hoyton looking at that C minor chord a little too intently.

pranks? I'm sure the 'spider on a fishing pole' prank is a tried and true move of hooliganism for the person in front of you.

Also, how do you get to sit on the man/woman line? There is a looker or two in the choir.
also an first step to an hc violation perhaps.

The Sunday morning rides and the late Sunday nine holes will most likely keep that from ever happening.

haha they say that to everyone, RC. Did people also come up to you afterward and tell you that they really enjoyed your talk?

I thought she was talking about herself.


But congrats on your talk. You do realize, I hope, that a display of competence and willingness leads to repeated requests?

So they say that to everyone? Damn I thought I hit it out of the park.

The only HC type treatment is the dress and grooming standards. Be clean shaven (mustaches allowed) and don't be a slob at rehearsals. Not sure about pranks. I pretty much keep to myself. getting on the man/woman line is simply a matter of being a 1st tenor or 2nd alto.

I saw a guy I went to high school with in MoTab during conference. He was our kicker. I think he is a teacher now. Probably still single.
