Happy St Patrick's Day
So I departed from the traditional dyed green grilled cheese to a lovely meal of corned beef cabbage provided by my lovely wife. It was really good.
Other than that, we haven't been up to much. I'm still looking for a closer job and Tiffany is still with Disney. We love all our friends and family and welcome visits anytime.
Happy St Patrick's Day to everybody!

TV B Gone Part Deux
So, it has been interesting to adjust to the quiet in the house. I admit to a certain longing to plop on the couch and turn on the noise, but then I find a good book or actually sit and talk with my wife. (Shocking I know.) In fact, I now find myself wondering why it took as long as it did. I have even found time to read the scriptures more.
I say found time...but the time was always there. I just wasted it before. I have come to realize more and more that my life is all about perception...which can be a nasty word-just ask Tiffany about Disney perception. But, as I focus more on my Savior and less on myself, I find more peace, I find insights from passages of scripture I have read may times before, and I find a renewed focus on the important things in life. I also find more communion with the Holy Ghost. Of course, that I usually manage to drive away in the next moment of imperfection, but I am finding more and more of those fleeting moments. God is good. He lives and He sent his Son to earth for me. They truly did appear to Joseph Smith to restore Their Church, which is directed under Christ by a living prophet today, Thomas S Monson. The Book of Mormon is true. This I know not of myself, but by the Spirit.
I wax a tad philosophical, but there it is. All from no TV. Who knew?
