    Or maybe reading CS and finding out I won the Knockout contest. That was pretty sweet too.
    Congrats Clark. I am happy you won.

    • Easter was one of those Sundays that I typically enjoyed at church. It was nice to have a day of meetings that was focused on Christ.

      • Our Easter program ended on a non lds musical number...the one Sting and Pavarotti sang. Pretty cool.

        Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

          • Someone forgot to bring the bread this week, so our sacrament consisted of (at least) week old if not more bread that had been left over from previous weeks, and rice cakes. Both options were gross.

              Ours consisted of some sort of interesting dark brown bread with little seeds and chunks of nuts. I've never seen anything like it. Quite tasty. But the kids in the row behind us were not happy with it at all.
              PLesa excuse the tpyos.

                You took more than one piece?

                  Not in this particular instance. I'm the Bishop of the hallway/parking lot ward, so I talked to my constituents to find out that the rice cake was bad.

                  Normally I go for the biggest piece of bread on the tray...doesn't everybody?

                    I thought it was well established on CUF that regardless of size we all go for the piece that looks least smooshed by teenage priest hands.

                      I always go for a small piece of crust. I figure the crust better repels whatever is on the 16 year-old's hands than the spongy part of the bread.
                      Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                        Sometimes you just have to block the gross parts out...sort of like when you see your kids drink half the cup of water and dump it out into the tray, but really into other cups that have not been selected yet. You know that is happening all around you, but you try to forget.

                          Exactly. If you're thinking about all the gross stuff, your mind is not where it should be.

                          • It was another HC speaker Sacrament meeting; the HC is a BYU alum and his topic was Sabbath observance. HC related a personal story of how he had sideline passes for Arizona Cardinals due to a business relationship with team and owner. After a business conference, Larry Wilson says to HC, "See you on Sunday", at which time HC explains to Wilson that he cannot attend the Cardinals game due to his religious beliefs. The following conversation followed:

                            Spouse: Who's Larry Wilson?
                            PBW: All-Pro safety for the Cardinals.
                            Spouse: You probably only know that because he played for Nebraska.
                            PBW: Many football fans know that. Besides, he played for Utah.
                            Spouse: Really? So a Utah guy is tempting a BYU guy to break the Sabbath?
                            PBW: I think the Cardinals owner gave him the tickets not Wilson.
                            Spouse: So a BYU guy is lecturing a Utah guy on the Sabbath day?
                            PBW: Yeah, kind of.

                              Little 2-year-old dude in front of us took a handful yesterday before his dad had a chance to react. He (the little dude, not the dad) kept looking back and smiling as he put each piece into his mouth. I leaned forward and asked the dad if he neglected to feed his kids before church.

                                Was yesterday fast Sunday in your stake? It was for ours, so that question would have backfired in my ward.

                                Edit: Never mind, I missed the 2 year old part.
