A new and different day....

Well another exciting day in Las Vegas, Nevada, a beautiful day almost 80 degrees. The nights are creeping up earlier and earlier. I did a lot of the usual consulting work today. I came up with a rare mental fatigue, not much sleep last night. I try and cut down on the red meat but I love to BBQ next to the pool and hot tub on Sunday nights. Sandi spends most of the day sleeping after working all day at the restaurant on Saturday. It doesn't seem fair but it gives me quality time with my beautiful (near genius) Taylor L. She is working on her forth straight year in Grade School working with a 4.0 GPA... A chip off the old block???? Gets her looks from mom though. I was asked to be the narrator at our Church Christmas program again this year. I thought after two times before someone else would get the calling. I should have expected it when I declined to be in the Choir. At 54 the old near perfect tenor voice is okay doing soft rock or country but Merry Christmas songs just aren't working anymore. So once again I'm off to memorization. I had hoped that that was over after years of my law classes.... Never the less, Taylor L loves to have the fellow members in her class praise her when her dad talks, sings or whatever in Church and of course my lovely (but much better at public speaking) 15 year younger wife enjoys it when I get up and stir up a little controversy with the membership in the ward. Must have something to do with the small patches of gray starting to work its way into the areas behind my ears... Distinguished she calls it... Most of the members know my views that are often not conducive with there ideals. I gave up home teaching after months of taking food and other staple products to each family for their two year supply with no one else in the High Priest Quorum following in suit. Oh and I don't attend Priesthood class or Gospel doctrine anymore either. I find watching paint dry or grass growing a more productive endeavour. Oh yeah, and I quit my calling as the ward and stake Employment specialist. I found out working with adults and members with IQ's lower than their shoe sizes was a bit too challenging. So for now, I go to Sacrament meeting and then home, usually to get the laundry done. (I won't let Sandra touch it if possible.) I'm picky and have large dry cleaning bills.
Taylor L is learning cursive writing now. I'm glad she has a short last name. She is doing well. She takes after me in the Math area. I'm often amazed at how she comes up with her answers.
It reminds me of my Days at BYU in Physic's class before I figured out I'm much better in English hence my Degree in Philosophy... UGH! Right up there with learning Arabic. Give me a keyboard I say: leave the math to the professionals. I struggled in my law classes when we worked on the Logic themes...
Well, the wife is working at the restaurant tonight, so we stopped by and Taylor L had her usual Mini Casadilla and I had my usual two fish tacos... Yummy!!!! ( need to watch my girlish figure)
Now it's Spongebob Squarepants time and I'll fire up the hot tub in a few for when the wife gets home. Seems tonight I was more in the mood for a Journalistic format rather than a Blog?
So for now its a new and different day....
