    We had a successful upgrade to Kronos 6.1 at work today. We even got all the reports working for the new version which was a huge load off of my mind (since I was largely in charge of that portion of the upgrade). I have come to the conclusion that I need to make better…

    I had an interesting thought in Sunday School today as I was listening to the lesson about the different escapes of Limhi and Alma.

    Laura has been having me go through my large stack of old letters. Most of them are from my mission, but really this includes virtually every letter I ever received. I thought I should make a few notes based on going back through those letters. I have been surprised at the number of notes and…

    It’s been a while since I’ve written here. I have been blogging and receiving some good feedback there which has been helpful in addressing my political/civic interests. Right now Laura and I are thinking about the possibility of moving back to Missouri. We don’t feel like we belong here in Lehi for very long and…
