Acceptance
One of the things I have to say today might upset some of my Utah readers. And I don't mean it to. In no way do I want to imply by this post that I believe all people who live in Utah are like this. But many are. Like what? Well, let me tell you. I came to the conclusion today that one of the things that didn't sit with me well in Utah was the fact that as a resident of the state--at least in Utah County (it might be better in Salt Lake, not sure) you're not forced to accept a wide variety of people. What I mean by this is that so many of the people in Utah are essentially the same, the need to recognize and respect other points of view is reduced.
Anyway. Enough of that. I've had some disturbing extended family news recently that's perhaps making me a tad more reflective than I usually am wont to be. I don't want to go into it yet, though. So don't ask. It has nothing directly to do with me, the wife or kids. No worries.
In other, brighter, happier news, we went over to a friend's house to play Settlers of Catan last night, and we had a wonderful time. Very nice to get out of the house now and then and interact with other people. Baby girl did a good job being out and about, even if she didn't sleep at all.
NCAA update: I need UNC to win. And I want UCLA to lose as soon as possible. If those two things happen, I will have vindicated my superiority complex and proven once again that I am right and everyone else is wrong. If, on the other hand, that doesn't happen, I will have shown that I can humble myself enough to allow other people to win something every now and then. :-)
And now my lunch break's almost entirely gone, so I must leave you fair readers. Have a spiffy Thursday.
