Keeping the momentum is difficult. Watch any sporting event and you will see the momentum change. We have seen the same thing happen here in the Jordan School District. I went to the Board Meeting Tuesday night. The big crowds of a couple of months ago are gone. The major issues have been dodged, not resolved, and life has overtaken most people. I don’t want to suggest that people are not concerned anymore or that they are fickle. Generally they are sincere and want to be involved but they have to make choices between family, careers and being politically involved. The system should make it easier for them to be informed and to engage in constructive dialogue.
I have noticed that I am getting to be too serious and dull on this site. I actually wrote a lengthy paper on the School Board meeting. Then I went to work out. That helps to clear the mind. I decided I need to find something good and something funny to write about each time. Especially since my niece admitted that she still reads my blog but is starting to find it a little boring.
Friday night Matthew, Sid and I went camping with the neighborhood up at the Heber Valley Camp. We arrived about 8:00 pm and shortly thereafter a snowball fight broke out. Now I don’t know why the neighborhood boys don’t throw snowballs at their dads, but they had waited until I arrived. Well I was able to gain control of the strategic ground (the snow bank) and the boys were forced to make suicide runs at the snow bank to try and grab some snow before they got pummeled. Of course they got some good shots in because it was one against twenty. That is the funny, or at least fun.
My job Friday night was to provide scones. It is amazing how good Rhodes frozen dinner rolls can taste when they are flattened out, boiled in oil and smothered in honey butter. It doesn’t get much better. 144 scones were consumed.
