i had to double check to ensure that wasn't an Onion article.

haha i thought the same thing, especially when I read about serving Swedish foods at Xmas. That is basically the smoking gun right there.

Funny.

My son is doing his residency. He works 12- to 16-hr days, seven days per week, and gets about one day off per month. I just don't see how that would be logistically possible to be a bishop and a resident at the same time.

delegation, baby!

His wife handled most of the bishopric duties.

[Jeff Lebowski]

your son sounds so ethnic!

Si! Much like wuap, he is fluent in Español.

That's an offensive image. Cheese and lettuce do not belong on a taco.

Yep and Johns Hopkins (where Renlund was) is notorious for being a really tough place to do residency.

I remember Renlund telling a story about being dog tired after a call night and going home to sleep on Sunday while his wife went to church, but then being unable to sleep because he knew he should be at church, then getting dressed up and going to church.

I can't identify -- always have slept like a baby at home on Sunday when everybody else in the fam went to church.

I'm somewhere in the middle. While going through college, I was working a 12 hour graveyard shift. So on Sunday's I'd go to church, but would hold my baby daughter, and we'd both fall asleep. It would look as though I was just a loving father, but in reality I was out for the count.

So you were not a loving father?

I could be wrong but I think that 's what JL was going for.

If that's true, I will tell you that taco trucks around my way specialize in offensive images.

Having read the subtext, let me add that I am not offended by Taco Bell tacos. That may be just because I'm in arizona where taco bell tacos don't come at the expense of "real" tacos.

[Bo Diddley]

So you were not a loving father?

Well yes, but mostly I was asleep.

[Pelado]

Well yes, but mostly I was asleep.

Yes, you were not a loving father?

[Bo Diddley]

To be fair, I can't remember. I was out cold.

First of all, I'm so happy for my residency!

Second, if your son wants better working hours, he could report his program. Sounds like he's averaging >80 hours per week, which has become a no-no lately

New presiding bishop is French and his 2nd counselor from LA. That should shut everyone up about diversity. Only the 1c is from salt lake!

I'm fine with that as long as the one from LA is not a Ute.
