Nothing Left but a Carcass

Ok, we didn't spend our Turkey day in warm, sunny Tucson outside by the pool as we have done for the past several years. Dallas just isn't driving distance and we had an opportunity to spend Thanksgiving with my family this year. We all gathered at a chapel in West Bountiful and we had a good time. We had plenty of good food and fun things to do. I hadn't realized there would be ping pong and I didn't bring my "super-de-duper-beat-anyone-even-if-you-have-no-talent" paddle. Now my rep has been tarnished and everyone knows it was the paddle all along. Whatever shall I do? We all had fun (I think) and my whole family was there except Kimo. Somehow he got a get-out-of-Thanksgiving-with-the-family free card.

Debra just finished a 1-week run of 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat' in the University Avenue theater district. Wow! When I saw her come on stage in the first show ( we saw three!) I couldn't see anyone but her! She was smiling! And singing! And dancing! Wow! After the second show, I could finally see something of the show other than her and it was pretty darn good! Now if only I could get those stupid songs out of my head!

"Where diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid .... they go?"

Sorry, no video or photography of any kind allowed due to "copyright" laws. (I guess the other twenty five gazzzzileeeeon video's from H.S. productions of "Joseph" posted on youtube violating this "copyright" are being pulled at this moment. =:)



** Update- Here are some photos taken by others.


That's Debra just tot he right of Joseph's head.



2 weeks ago Karen and a friend participated in a ball room dance competition at BYU. She has been taking a class at school and, for the past few weeks, has been practicing very hard with her partner. I tell you what, that was a breathtaking experience for me. To see her out there on the floor, being all ... ball roomy. She is so graceful and beautiful. See for your self! (I did bring the camera this time)

They did pretty well in the competition for the 'Cha Cha' but didn't advance past the first round in the 'Samba'

There were two (well three really) more breath taking sights besides Karen at the competition.

Don't worry Natalie, Duke is doing just great! He loves chewing on his treats. What a hansom dog.

Ok, we're way down here at the bottom of the blog. Only you hard core faithful readers (like... two of you ) ever get this far. So here's my secret...

I saw Twilight... twice, and I liked it. Fine, go ahead and report me to the manlihood integrity association.
