Game Night

Sunday evening we decided to have game night. I chose to play Rumicube and in spite of being the last one to lay down any tiles, I was the third first place winner. Vicki had gone first and she was the first first-place winner. Ben went out on the same turn and he was the second first-place winner and then I went out on the same turn followed by Spencer.

Spencer chose the next game and it was Twister. Now do you think that that is a sabbath appropriate game? Ben asked Vicki if she was going to change out of her dress and she said no. You see Vicki always does the spinner and calls the moves but, this time Spencer wouldn't let her. Spencer was the caller.

The game started with Vicki and Ben at the far ends and I was on the side in the middle. "Right foot green." I stepped across the mat.

"Left foot yellow." I moved my left foot by my right foot, Ben move his right foot up behind my right foot and Vicki took the spot right in front of her.

"Right Hand Yellow." Much like musical chairs you have to get to the empty spot quickly. I took the one yellow vacant spot between Vicki and me. Ben grabbed the spot behind his left foot leaving the only yellow spot available at the far end of the mat.

I looked back at the spot, smiling and wondering how Vicki was going to get there. Just then I heard a roar and felt myself rolling backwards into Ben sending him (and me) sprawling off the mat. Vicki demurely put her right hand down on the yellow spot and said. "I win."

I Lived My Mom's Dream

Dad loved going to BYU football games and frequently dragged Mom along. It all started in 1965 when Karen was the "Big Time Twirling Star" with the marching band. (She can post her comments as to the official title if she wants.) Dad would watch the games with intensity and Mom would patiently sit in the stands knitting something while the game happened around her. About midway through the game, lots of people got up and went different places while mom put down her knitting to enjoy the Halftime show. At the end of the show, she would pick up her knitting and continue while everyone else cheered the football game. This procedure continued long past Karen's twirling and graduation and raising 5 kids. Dad would watch the football game and mom would knit.

Well if justice were ever to be served and Mom were to live her dream, it would have happened last night in Sam Boyd Stadium where UNLV plays their home football games. Starting at 1:00 pm and continuing until 8:30, high school marching band after high school marching band from Clark County Nevada performed their halftime show. They didn't even have a football game break out between groups. Mom would have loved it.

Vicki, Spencer and I watched the show from 6:30 to 8:30. Ben Performed in the last group. I still have enough Dad in me that I missed the football game, but the show was nice.

Thanks for the prayers

I met a couple coming around drumming up support for McCain on the Sunday before the elections. The had moved in from California. Very nice couple and I mentioned to them that our church members we were fasting and praying that their California Friends would Vote to protect Marriage. They responded, I'm not feeling so hungry either. I think I'll fast tomorrow.
