You're fat

Well, I'm getting old I guess. My wife's family has a big Easter celebration in Spanish Fork every year. It's a pretty enjoyable time with a good dinner and a big Easter egg hunt for the kids. Anyway, I was talking to one of Janalyn's 5 year old cousins and I asked him,

"Hey Benjamin, are you in school yet?"

His response?

"Yeah, I like it a lot."

Later I asked Janalyn's aunt, this kids mom, how it was to have all of her kids in school now.

She says, "Well, Benjamin is still at home."

What the H? This little kid had lied to me over something stupid. I went over to him and said,

"Hey Ben, why did you tell me you were in school when you really weren't?"

So the kid just kind of looks at me for like 30 seconds with this really strange look on his face.

He finally says, "You're fat."

That was it. No explanation, no other response. I of course started laughing hysterically. Everyone else of course wanted to know what was so funny so Ben starts yelling,

"He's Fat! Chris is Fat!"

Looks like I need to hit the weights or something.

OG's return to Florida

My family just returned from a trip to Florida. Hearing their stories reminded me of the trip Dan, Jared, JJ, and I made a few years back. That was one of the greatest trips ever. The only thing that could have made it better is if all the OG's had been able to go. I can still remember riding Dueling Dragons, Zuma Beach, and Dan and I rolling through Ebor like it was yesterday.
Good Times!

The Curse of Cedar City 

The Curse of Cedar City

This entry is a reminder to Rum and Wats of our attempted Vegas vacation and a warning to those who dare venture through Cedar City.

For those who didn't know, Rum, Chris and I decided on a weekend in Vegas during one winter season. Driving down in Rum's Eclipse we encountered numerous snow storms and snow covered roads. Car's were off the road all over the place, but the Eclipse continued on. After passing the main Cedar City exit, an attempt was made to pass a semi. All I can remember is hearing "oooohh Sh!$", a few spins and hits on the guard rails and coming to a stop on the shoulder facing oncoming traffic. The car was filled with smoke from the air bags and I was thinking, "If Wat's is hurt, I'm screwed, I'm trapped in the back seat." The Vegas trip was ruined and so was the Eclipse.

Each time I pass through the area of incident I remember the words from the cop at the scene, "You know about 5 more miles and you would've dropped out of the snow and had clear roads all the way to Vegas." Last weekend I was coming home from St. George. When I came upon the same area in Cedar City. 2 cars were off the road on the median and shoulder.

The curse had struck again.

How to start a new topic

I posted this in a comment, but I'll post it here too. The only thing that stinks about this format is that in order to start a new topic, you need to log into www.blogger.com and click the "Posting" tab and then the "Create" sub-tab. When finished click the "Publish Post" button at the bottom.

Happy blogging.

OGs Unite

This could be cool or this could be lamer than Allred and Haught.

When I read Rumel's update to the mission website today

http://www.mission.net/florida/orlando/alumnilist.php?uID=64135

I thought "you know, I haven't seen the boys in awhile and now that I'm taking off I'll lose touch with them unless we do something."

I don't really want to be that guy. Let's give it a go...
