November 18th: Magic in the air

First day of Forgotten Carols rehearsals and I’m a happy guy.  Reunited with great friends anticipating the best season ever and already having way too much fun.  As we reviewed the blocking of the show and looked for better ways to bring the story to life we found some really fun stuff that’s been buried [...]

November 5th-17th Twelve days of Craziness

November 17, 2010 in Missions by michael
It’s important for me to say, right here and now, that  I HAVE NOT ceased my daily search for meaningful happiness AND I HAVE NOT failed to find it. I have failed to get to my computer the last twelve days to share the joy with those of you who read these postings.  I’ve been [...]

This morning I needed to drive in to Salt Lake to make a car exchange with Meggan.  She and Alex were both working all day and they’d lined up someone to take care of Bucky and Sadie.  When I stopped to put some gas in the car I noticed that there was part of a [...]
