Pool noodles and black heads

 Oh hi Bakey,

I’ll just do a short letter tonight. We had a little snowstorm today, but it was more cold than snowy. It wasn’t even bad enough to compel me to follow your wee brother to school this morning. But I did take Ben.

I bid a new freelance project today. It’s a website for a friend. If I get it, I’m going to be totally irresponsible and buy some more accessories for the 4Runner. I think I told you that I’m playing with the idea of going to Death Valley over Ben’s spring break, but I’m having a tough time getting someone to join us, so I’m not sure how I feel about going alone. It would be nice to have a rack to put some extra gas and stuff on. I just got a Chinese 

HAM radio to put in there, now I just need a license. I also have to wire up my lights and compressor.

Around here, I’m working on wiring the garage, but it’s been cold and I’m kind of a wuss so it’s been slow going. Works been pretty mellow, which always makes me nervous. But lots of people are quitting, so they’re being super nice to everyone hoping they stick around.

It was fun chatting with you on Monday. You seem happier, even if it was super boring hanging out at the mall. I swear that looks just like that big fancy mall we went to in Dallas that one time. You need to make sure we get you clothes if yo need them. Don’t feel like your being needy or demanding. Your mission just seems to be hard on clothes. And remember, you are representing the Lord. It’s amazing how many people read your letters, those people that tell me and mom about them are always super positive.

The Utes released part one of a four part documentary on the season yesterday. It was good, but I thought the edit was a bit amateurish. It will be fun to watch it with you. I think the obi wan kenobi series comes out in may, then the lord of the rings series later in the year. Other than that, I can’t think of much that I’m excited about.

Tonight at young mens we played this hockey game with pool noodles that bishop made up. It was actually pretty fun. I actually participated, in my fat dad slow as molasses way. I need Joey to play more. I get why he holds back, I just wish he’d try more to get to know those boys. I think they’d appreciate it. Next week we are going skiing. I’m not sure if I’m going to ski or not, but I will take Joey and some boys.

I came downstairs after because mom was bathing and your brothers were playing video games. Mom ambushed us all with this black goop that came in one of her pink packages. The timer went off and I peeled it off, I think it extracted some black heads, which grossed out your mom. As they say, payback is a b…ahem…mom favorite swear word.

Well, that’s all the boringness for today. I love you kid. Be safe, and be bold.
