Mom and Dad Save the World

Well, here we are. This is a first for both of us and we are really at a loss for words. I ask Mom and she says, "I don't know, this was your idea."

So now that you have had your laugh for today, I (that being Dad or "The Beast") will start. Mom says that everyone should be able to figure out that I am The Beast. Maybe we should change this to Blondie and the Geek, though I am only half geek. The other half is an insane artist like Jackson Pollack or Van Gogh. Truly, a ravening beast waiting to get out!

Mom will have to post on this as well, so encourage her!!!

This past week I travelled to Californina and Colorado. I had training there and the teacher was very interesting. He asked me if I was a man of God and I said yes. He said that he was too and that he felt that it (God) was in everything. I happened to say, later in the conversation that He (God) helps me. The trainer reiterated that he didn't want to give God a gender because he didn't see the need for sexual organs in Heaven. Aside from that, we agreed on several levels.

I really seem to find the weird ones, huh?

At dinner that night with one of my co-workers I took Mom's role as counselor and psychologist for a youger lady that can't decide what to do with her life. She wants a commitment from her current boyfriend and when she got it, she freaked out; wondering if she should go ahead. Fear and a lack of faith in things will get you that.

One more weird one.

In Colorado, there were no weirdos, just nice scenery and lots of road construction. We think we have it bad in Utah? Try a city 3 times the size with twice as much construction. They are putting in a light rail system there called TREX (original, huh?).

The Marriott I stayed in had no soundproofing around the doors to the corridor and between adjoining rooms. As a result, I could hear everything the woman in the next room was saying, at 11:30pm! So I turned up the TV, which brought security to my door, asking to turn it down. I told them to tell the lady next door to shut up and I would. There's that beast again.

Anyway, it was a productive week with some interesting weirdnesses to keep it real.....

Mom worked on the genealogy all week (I guess) and came up with new names. She is also a pawn in a power struggle at work. They all want her in their group and can't resolve the fight! She is a woman in demand!!

Speaking of in demand, she was very brave and had lunch with my mother and Aunt Kim. Mom says that my mother was very nice and sends birthday greetings to Catherine, even though she didn't send a card. Aunt Kim has a new job at Cutler's Corner making sandwiches and salads and the like. Mom says that they have very nice cookies. Ah, breaking the diet again!!! That's ok, I did too.

Well, we have now joined the blogging craze. Zuke will have to hack our site to link it up with everyone else's. Hiyo Silver and Away!!!!
