This is a random post with a few random updates/happenings

Well, We had scout camp which was fun, but soooo hot. Thanks mom and dad for the canopy! I've been back and forth to Grand Teton National Park the last few weeks for work, which has been lots of fun, but lots of work and no leisure time whatsoever. I had been originally hired as an intern for a 3 month period and as that period is winding down I've been talking with my boss and he seems anxious to keep me around, so that's great news! I just need to find enough to do that i can keep myself busy (our business really slows down during the winter months as one might imagine). Angie and i proved to the world that Ping Pong knows no economic or spacial limits when we bought a net and some paddles at the DI and converted her sewing table into a hobbit-sized ping pong table. It actually works really well and is lots of fun. As for the Mike Leavitt picture, well our story isn't quite jake's Mit Romney story, but Angie and i spoke in sacrament meeting today and who should be in attendance but the very governor and his wife (he must have heard who was speaking). Anyways, we both did great and it was fun to see him in person. The last picture is of my geeky Boardgame convention i went to in salt lake. It's called A Gathering Of Strangers, it's an annual event and usually draws around 300 die-hard boardgame geeks. I was one of them. It was awesome! I won the Dominion tournament (that's a game) and got a lot of sweet games in trades and as prizes and stuff. It was a ball. Well, that's enough for now, until next time

lots of randomness in that post. You named it right. so proud that my brother is a game geek. so cool. especally since that type of event would be close to my own personal hell. we have different skills- i'll put it that way. Ping pong isn't a great skill of mine either but a hobbit sized table just makes it all sound so cute and irresistible.

Fun read, Dan!
I wouldn't want to play the games at the convention--but it would be entertaining to see everyone else getting so into it. Bet it was a blast.
Glad that your job is sounding more long-lasting!
*I have a pretty funny image in my head of Josh tying rachel to a chair and forcing her to play games with the game geeks.

Great post Dan, I too must express a certain chill that comes to mind at the thought of a gathering of people who really enjoy strategy board games. God bless Human diversity. I want to know where everyone's thoughts about Mike Leavitt went? That's pretty awesome. The Callister's are getting it done with the old GOP these days. I am tempted now to post my pictures with Gov. Huntsman, but I dont want to be one-upsman. I also heard from Mom that work is looking up.. THAT is truly the coolest.
