The 1st Date With Karen

I find it hard sometimes to believe that so many good things can happen to one individual!

Last night I took Karen Pinegar to Manti to see the pageant.  It was pouring cats and elephants in Provo, and I was afraid that we might run into some problems down in Manti.  I picked up Karen in Spanish Fork after getting lost and finally having to call her.  We had a good talk on the way down but I wouldn't rate it an A+.  I felt like I had to keep thinking of things to say.  I do love her laugh.  It is so fun.

We drove through a flooded, desolate, defeated town of Thistle, on through a very green Fairview, Mount Pleasant, a tranquil Ephraim and then to Manti.  The further South we go the lesser became the threat of rain.  My spiritual home I guess will always be in Manti, Utah staring in wonderful awe at the omniscient Manti temple.  It always has, and I trust always will take my breath away.  Especially at night.

We had an extreme training seminar Saturday at the Wilkie.  We learned the transactional analysis approach to communication.  We also discussed an approach to lesson design.  I was rather bummed most of the seminar because Steve was acting like a defiant little kid and it bothered me.

Lisa and her roommate came by Thursday night.  Actually, I saw them outside and invited them in.  she looked good but I'm convinced that she is not the right girl for me.

Bingo is home to Idaho.  I do miss him although I'm enjoying the room to myself.

Tuesday is the 24th and it looks as though I will be going water skiing in the morning with Christine and some people then up to Salt Lake in the afternoon for a rodeo with Mark and some others.

School?
