Week of April 30, 2006 to May 06, 2006

Last week in the Salt Lake Tribune an interesting article caught my eye. The article was titled "Living History: Debunking 'Da Vinci Code': Christ's kin live in Utah". Here's the pertinent excerpt:

Speaking in the Salt Lake Temple to a select group of church leaders on July 2, 1899, George Q. Cannon of The First Presidency said, "there are those in this audience who are descendants of the old 12 Apostles, and shall I say it, yes, descendants of the Savior himself. His seed is represented in this body of men."
Dan Brown's novel assertion that Jesus was married with children is old news to Mormons, who suspected as much all along. Growing up in the church in California, I dutifully got up every morning during high school at 5:30 a.m. to attend seminary. It was there I first learned that the marriage attended by Jesus in Cana, where he famously turned water into grape juice, was probably his own.

My great-great-grandfather, Harrison Sperry, was Patriarch of the LDS Church at the time this meeting supposedly took place and even spent time in the slammer with George Q. Cannon. If high-level church leaders were in attendance there there is a good chance that ol' Harry Sperry was also there.

I got my new specs today. Its a lousy picture taken with my phone but hey, you do the best you can with the source material you have available.

The next songs in my iTunes Party Shuffle are:

Beatles - Day Tripper
Hillary Duff - Love Just Is
No Doubt - It's My Life
The Carpenters - Solitaire
Chicago Cast Album - Razzle Dazzle
Oingo Boingo - We Close Our Eyes
Oingo Boingo - Return Of The Dead Man
The Carpenters - I Just Fall In Love Again
Hillary Duff - Cry
The Police - Spirits In The Material World

Needless to say... I'll be pushing refresh pretty soon on that...

I'd like to get in the habit of packing a sack lunch. I spend way too much cash on eating out. Add that to how overwhelmingly depressing it truly is to spend lunch break after lunch break eating by yourself and I've got pretty good motivation to brownbag it.

Here's my problem. I don't feel like food in the morning so deciding what to pack is a dilema. Abosulely nothing seems appealing enough to take the trouble to pack.

Today, and the next few days at lunch, I will take careful note of what would sound good and begin to make a list. Maybe I can narrow it down to some favorites that I'll actually want to eat.

I know this post is pathetically uninteresting. What more did you expect out of me?
