For the Fam

So it's a little sentimental. So sue me. Wait - don't. I hate litigation. Been there, done that. Don't mess with me, man!

For My Friend

Some light hearted humor about Home Teaching. May none of us ever find ourselves in these positions - and may the Force be with us!

Hopefully, what will happen is a little doodad that looks like a player should show up just below this text, and if you click it to play a deep voice will start reading Isaiah 53 to you.

Testing, Testing

An attempt at editing. It's just a test for a future short film I'll be doing for the Young Women/Relief Society sisters in our stake.




And here's a video of my bro being funny, testing another way of getting videos into cyberspace.

Moby Dick - The Great Flood Gates of the Wonder World

So I'm reading along in Moby Dick - never read it before - and am severely tempted to skip this particular chapter comprised of a unscientific and pompous classification of whales. Glad I didn't because I ran into this little tid bit while Ishmael is describing the Narwhale:

"Black Letter tells me that Sir Martin Frobisher on his return from that voyage, when Queen Bess did gallantly wave her jeweled hand to him from a window of Greenwich Palace, as his bold ship sailed down the Thames; ‘when Sir Martin returned from that voyage’, saith Black Letter, ‘on bended knees he presented to her highness a prodigious long horn of the Narwhale, which for a long period after hung in the castle at Windsor’. An Irish author avers that the Earl of Leicester, on bended knees, did likewise present to her highness another horn, pertaining to a land beast of the unicorn nature."

I'm very much enjoying Moby Dick. I don't know why it's always a surprise to me that old books that are still in print are so good, because the reason that I read those books is because they must be good if they're still in print.

He's out taking a walk right now.

Changes

There's some big changes coming into my life. I just have to have the guts to finish what's in front of me. I've been saying that for months. I finally have a deadline. I think it will be motivational. At least I hope so. The amount of emotional inertia I'm able to generate is amazing. Passive aggression. I suppose that's one way to look at it. I'm amazingly good at it. Even when it hurts. I can pour gallons of energy into it. Why can't I use that energy in doing something more productive?
