2024 Utah Audi Quattro Cup Regional Winner

Tommy and his playing partner won the Utah Regional Audi Quattro Cup! He won a golf bag (as modeled by my daughter) and an all-expenses-paid-trip to stay at the PGA Omni in Frisco, TX to compete for the national championship at Fields Ranch G.C.! Then, if they win that, on to Oman for the world championship!

I made it up the Y for the first time in 3 years. Between work, work, chemo, surgery, more chemo, more chemo, work. It’s been tough, not for lack of trying. I just haven’t had close to the stamina. It’s kind of difficult to care about being fit when thinking you’re probably going to die. But I needed to break this melancholy and push through. And I did it and it was tough and rewarding.

One Nation Under God, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for All

What bugs me about democrats and republicans is neither really cares about the constitution anymore. Both are guilty. There is a process when you want to add or subtract something from the constitution and so yes, the constitution is a living document, but not at the whim of some oligarchy. It’s called an amendment. Want to make abortion legal and deprive unborn children or the right to live, pass an amendment. Do you want to take money from some and give to others, pass and amendment. Stop having the oligarchy look into the “penumbra” of the constitution to do things that are clearly not spelled out in the constitution. Want to get rid of guns – amendment. The current circus is to pass laws or issue edicts under supposed powers and see what the supreme court feels like and damn the people. Who cares about lip service of protecting our republic or democracy when both parties only serve the oligarchy. The fact that neither party harps on this process tells you how broken things are – Let alone the political persecutions currently taking place. At this rate, we’ll be lucky to have country still intact in 10-15 years. It should be enough to make anyone wonder…

In Dreams

I am a dreamer, as in, I often dream and will wake up and remember the dreams. Sometimes my dreams are fantastical, sometimes they are scary, sometimes they are mundane. But I often wonder about why we dream. Do they mean anything? Are they a glimpse into our id? Or… are they a glimpse into the multiverse?

The multiverse theory goes that there are infinite universes and infinite versions of you. In the multiverse, every possibility does happen somewhere. And the theory with dreams is that dreams connect the conscious of other versions of you and allow you to essentially view other versions of your life.

A Letter to Santa

Taylor saw this “postal box” for letters to Santa when we went to the library and when we got home she immediately started writing her letter. She then created a duplicate for us, however, she told us that she put a couple things on the letter to Santa she didn’t give to us. When she finished, she asked daily when we were going back so she could drop off her letter! Here she is after semi-patiently waiting to drop it off. I just hope the secret items aren’t her “weenie whistle” like in the Santa Clause!
