Global Warming?

The high temp on Sunday is going to be 58, not to bad for this time of year.
The next day the HIGH temp will be 17. Ouch

Hi, Everyone,

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I don't remember every turkey I ever tasted, but I think Alia's just may be the best of all (Sorry, Peter).
David wants to know: Does anyone know what happened to Grandpa Thompson's shooting trophies? Just curious.

Twilight (what else?)

Alyx and I went to see "Twilight". Fortunately, she had no school, so we were able to hit an early matinee and completely missed the crowds. (Still, $9.50 for a matinee??!?)

Anyway, I enjoyed it very much. I thought it was quite faithful to the book, but even better in that both Edward and Bella got over their grumpiness much more quickly than in the book.

So go see it; I don't think you'll be disappointed!

Here's what we saw today; these fires are closer than any we've seen in recent years (Yorba Linda and Anaheim Hills!), and have also caused more property damage than any in a long time.

Thank you, Dennis Prager!


I've always liked Dennis Prager tremendously, but now he has shown how truly noble he is. In response to the hateful gay-rights activists who are protesting outside our temples, he says, "We are ALL Mormons!" (Even though he's Jewish.)

This reminds me of Denmark's beloved King Christian, who, when the Nazis marched in, donned a Star of David, and all his faithful subjects followed suit.

Veterans' Day

Thank you to our veterans! I heard that there's still ONE MAN LEFT who fought in World War I--of course, he's 108 years old. Amazing.
