Happy Wanderers

Just some final notes on our most recent trip to California.

The car, although aging, performed wonderfully. Through the years we have enjoyed a lot of good Kharma with our cars (Carma?)

Lenore kept us entertained a lot with input from the Mad Board, Mormon Apologetics and Discussion Board. Two main topics absorbed our time, differences (degree of leniency) between Bishops in dealing with repentance of members and the Word of Wisdom as a Covenant. This last one was a Red Herring. The Board members should have been smart and stopped it in the bud. They allowed the person posing the question to establish incorrect definitions without challenging her on it.

I managed to get in one short bike ride in Saint George on my Dad's bike. I went down River Road past the AZ State line a couple of miles. The road turns to dirt after the border so it's really not the best ride.

The family was really great and for the most part got along very well. Laney managed to barf again just as we were arriving into Barstow. We gave her some Dramamine. But, Ailsa accused her of palming it because it didn't put her to sleep.

Of course, we stopped at In-N-Out in Barstow both ways.

Lenore and I sang with cousin Beth at the Orange III ward on Sunday 22 April. We sang Sally DeFord's arrangement of "Prayer is the Soul's Sincere Desire." It went very well, and it was good to see some of the old timers. Saw Paul Snow and Cindy Baron Cowdell.

I didn't forget to take my Beta Blockers and used them for the Wedding Ceremony (I was quite nervous) and the song.

We had to make it back home Monday night in time to watch Heroes since it was the first new episode in about a month.

We stopped in Orem for Krispy Kreme donuts because Ailsa has a 2 for 1 (dozen) card.
