I learned in church today

Heavy?

No, its his brother.

[Non Sequitur]

No, its his brother.

I hate that I'm old enough to get the reference.

Just be glad you're not old enough to think of and go ahead and post such a stupid joke.

Reminds me of Ellen DeGeneres's line about seeing a "Heavy Petting Zoo, for people who really like animals." I don't believe she really saw one, though.

There is a NOFX album out there with that title. I will admit that I found it very funny when I saw it for the first time at a record store.

I used to own it. I think my brother stole it while I was on my mission.

I had a companion on my mission from Casper, Wyoming. In his worthiness interview for his mission he was asked if he had ever had relations with an animal. Apparently that's an issue for farm boys.

When I worked for Idaho Fish and Game, one season we hired on a local kid to help us navigate some of the more brutal access areas. One night around the fire under the nonjudgment of Orion's Belt, this kid throws out, "feed a hog tomatoes and they've got no idea what else is going on." I'll tell you one thing, I always passed on the tomatoes around the camp dinner table after that.

I will not be ashamed of the gospel of the Diamond.

Ah, Wyoming. Where men are men and sheep are nervous.

This past Sunday, I learned that my headaches are only just beginning. The HT routes are a cluster, with the former president having an off-the-books set of routes that apparently bear little relationship to what was entered in the ward computer (which, since the previous EQ Secretary moved without passing anything on, or entering anything into MLS in the past 4 months was the only thing I had to work from.) It took the finance clerk 10 minutes to seem to understand my request for a budget report so I could figure out if there's anything left. (Answer: No. But that doesn't seem to matter, because there really isn't a "budget," only expenses that get approved. )

And I'm hoping that there will come a point when the 75-90 minutes spent in Ward Council / PEC won't feel like a monumental waste of time.

The only time I've ever "enjoyed" PEC or ward council, was my Bishop in Orem who ran a tight ship. 55 minute bishopric and ward council meetings, no exceptions. He was a master of keeping things on topic and wasn't afraid to say when a particular discussion wasn't necessary for the whole group and we should move on. And when the meeting end time came, we ended.

We had a bishop who reached the same result by scheduling PEC to begin 1 hour before sacrament. After 50 minutes the bishopric left. Meeting over.

Should Just Be Home?
