Have you noticed that it's actually more tiring to be at work with nothing to do, than to have more than enough to do? The last two days at work were Fall Break, and although faculty were supposed to be there on Thursday, of course no one came - except for one person. Big surprise! There were a couple of tasks for me - took me all of one hour to accomplish - but the rest of the time was just a waste. And there's only so much organizing and cleaning that one can do!
I was going to post something last night - Brian got me started - but right after we talked, I went to the viewing for Heather Christensen. Line was over an hour long, with people continuously arriving. Kay, and David and Jamie, said to tell you - those in MO and Rosie - hi for them. FYI, David and Jamie have a new little baby girl - 3 weeks old.
After I got home, went to the High Priest Social - don't usually go, but this one was a farewell for Dave and Emily Schultz, who moved out of the ward to American Fork. And for those of you who don't know, Dave Schultz was High Priest Group Leader before moving, and was a big support and help to me. We are sorry to see them move.
I don't know how many of you check this site, or how often - I'd like to know if this is a better way to communicate than the other avenues. My feeling is that there are too many ways to communicate - and it's not real communication; it almost seems like it actually has become counter-productive. There's little real "connection" any more.
Anyway, you all have a good Saturday, and weekend.
Love you all - forever.
And I would like to know how many of you actually access this blog - and how regularly.

I get on this website maybe a couple times a month to see if anything new is posted.
There might be a way to be emailed when something new is posted, but I haven't turned on that option, myself.
I, too, am interested in what everyone thinks is the best way for us to keep in touch with each other on a regular basis.
Thanks, Mom. There are tons of different ways to communicate; I like the approach of blogs because then I can manage it and look when I have time for that particular focus.
But that's not accurate. So let me be specific: "I like the approach of subscribing to sites..."
If you don't know about subscribing, then look for a "subscribe" link (sometimes called "RSS" or "Atom") and click it. It will ask you what to use to subscribe; I use Google Reader. Set up an account if you need. Then just check your subscription reader from time to time to make sure you don't miss anything; since you mark off items as you read them, you always know when something new is posted.
So every time I want to see what's going on in the world (after email, Facebook, and Twitter) I look at my subscriptions. I have dozens of subscriptions for everything from politics to science to computers. So I have all my family subscriptions in a folder for "family and friends", and I put that folder at the top of my subscriptions; I can afford to miss some of the other stuff, but I want to make sure I always see when my family has a new update.
I'd recommend making your own blog (eg. Blogger.com or Wordpress.com). That way we know when there is something just for you, rather than mixed together with other people's stuff. Just a thought.
Cheers!
