Here are LRN2 (center) and LRN4 (right) at Great America with their animated friend. Part of my famous Statue series. Great Art courtesy of the exclusive iPhone-cam.

Extreme short shrift. We finished our taxes tonight. Let’s just say it’s not the happiest night ever here in Lardville. The good news: California owes us lots of money. The bad news: we owe the Feds even more money. Also, California is reported to be notoriously slow in getting refunds out. Seems they want to use my money interest-free for even longer this year. Bunch of thieves. I would go to jail for doing exactly what they’re doing to me. Not that I’m bitter.

Anyway. Nice General Conference Easter weekend. We enjoyed being at home and watching the sessions of conference. We missed the Saturday morning session because we were at LRN2’s eagle recognition breakfast. Which was very nice, if a bit expensive. Not that I’m bitter.

Anyway. Nothing much else to report, other than that LRN5 and LRN12 came over on Sunday, which was nice. Also, it rained. So it was a mixed bag.

I’ll leave you with this shocking food violence news: filet-o-fish slap!

See you tomorrow.

Here’s a hotel in Cabo. I liked the colors. Taken during our recent Mexican cruise (duh).

Wonders of Blogger. I missed posting on Tuesday (scouting meeting) and Wednesday (no excuse), so I can’t miss Thursday. It’s off Friday today, so there’s time.

Not much to report, though. So let’s stop pretending it’s Thursday and talk about Friday instead.

It’s cold today! The official temperature is 53 degrees at a little after 2:00 in the afternoon, and it’s windy as all heck and raining. Not a great day to be outside.

Which is fine with me – I’ve been getting a lot of computer-type stuff cleaned up and fixed up, as well as some reading for my calling. I need to get out there and clean the pond filter and fix a broken sprinkler pipe, but those things are going to have to wait until tomorrow. Which is the first day of General Conference, but I ought to be able to work them in anyway.

So it’s a nice day to stay bundled up inside. We’re so cold, LRN4 even turned the heater back on. Which is pretty extreme for April around here. I was thinking of spending a little time in the spa this evening, but it might even be too chilly for that. We’ll have to see.

Okay week at work. It appears that all of my soon-to-be-rolled-off people have now found jobs, with the exception of the one who went to another company and the one who was already laid off. I’m delighted to not have any more layoffs to do.

LRN4 wants to go to Kohl’s today, but not until after 3:00 when the daily super-duper sale is in full swing. She got ten bucks’ worth of free stuff there for buying a bunch of groceries the other day. She doesn’t know what she wants to get yet, so we might have to browse around a bit. She also needs to make a trip to Costco, so the afternoon should be eventful. In the meantime, LRN2 went to San Francisco with his friend Josh and Josh’s mom. They went to a comics convention(?!) and they’re also watching a movie made by Josh’s brother. Sounds like fun. I hope he took a jacket, though.

And that’s about all the news today, so I’ll leave you with this shocking food violence news: beef jerky theft.

See you tomorrow (today).
