Today Zack and I went to Freddy’s for lunch, and he remarked,
What if there was something like snow in the summer? You could have a hotball fight.
Parallel parking
I saw this on the internet, and it describes my feelings exactly:
How to parallel park:
1) Park somewhere else.
Deep Thought
If you never do more than you are able, you will never be more than you are.
Grand Poobah
Just now I was doing some poking around on LinkedIn to get the lowdown on some people who have sent their resumes (Zing is hiring again). I noticed this one and just loved it.
It’s hard to say what’s more awesome: the hair, or the title “Grand Poobah”. If I need a lawyer, this is the guy I want.
Chamber music
A couple of nights ago we went to the annual high school chamber music festival. Basically, all of the band students form small groups and pick songs they’d like to play. It’s pretty fun, and a chance for them to show off their skills a bit.
Unfortunately most of the songs sounded like a sixth-grade band for some reason. Laralee and I wondered if some of the groups had even practiced their pieces. Normally it’s much more polished, but there were a lot of “rough around the edges” groups.
Anyway, Kyra’s quartet played “Three Blind Mice” (who knew?) and did a great job.
She also played in a second flute trio; they did a piece I’d never heard of and can’t remember now. Again, they were solid. A few other groups did a bang-up job, so overall it was a good time.
Rich
I saw this car the other day when I was driving home from the airport.
It’s a pretty sweet little ride. Then I noticed the license plate:
Well, I suppose if you’ve got it, flaunt it…
5:21
This is the first thing I see every day.
Yesterday when my alarm went off at 5:21am, I groped for my cell phone and took a picture. Just because. Then I hit snooze, as usual, and dozed for 9 minutes until 5:30, when I rolled out of bed and started my day.
Yep, that’s seminary. I may not like those 5:21 alarms, but I do love teaching.
Job posting English broken
Here’s an actual email from someone applying for a job at Zing:
Have nice day!
I used to be just wondering if you obtain a chance to discover through my previous email as I would certainly not hear back from you yet.
Have you offered any additional consideration to my proposal? I’d end up being happy to chat in the phone and solution any questions which may well have come up.
What does your schedule appearance like this week to?
Do you want any kind of update regrades this?
Make sure you let me know the views.
Seriously?
BYU or the other BYU?
I was at a party tonight, and Kyra sent me a text from home.
She’d been accepted to BYU-Idaho a couple of months ago, and has been waiting to hear from BYU-Provo. Apparently they made announcements today on the web site, so she decided to check.
Now she has to decide which one to attend…
Taxes part 1
And that’s a wrap.
My corporate taxes are finished and on their way to the Gov.
Now it’s on to the adventure of my personal taxes. The big question– as it is every year– is whether I owe money or have been giving the Gov an interest-free loan for the last year…
