This weekend went way too fast. Friday night was a great night at the temple while poor Dad worked on the tax documents. Saturday, watching conference was wonderful and inspiring; then Dad took the tax stuff to work to fax to Austin (Don Flaten). Whew! What a relief to get that transferred to someone with the mind for it. So Dad didn't see the afternoon session, but for those who did, you may remember David F. Evans speaking. He's the husband of Dad's cousin - Aunt Edith's daughter. (It's just a coincidence that she married someone with her mother's maiden name. They're the ones who returned this year from serving as mission president in Japan. Also, our former bishop from Pasadena days, Keith Hilbig, was called to serve in the First Quorum of the Seventy. That was exciting to see.
Tonight we watched a Christopher Lowell show I'd taped and we got more enthused about finishing the house decorating. Dad's a natural artist.
Also, this weekend I'm monitoring a job at work whereby I'm processing credit reports for Long Beach Mortgage Company, a part of WAMU, or Washington Mutual, - all 230,210 for 2005 b/c they want to see the FICO scores. I get 35 per minute so it's going to take a good 4.5 - 5 days before I can even start pulling them into SAS for analysis. My boss at work is Peng Leong, who's from Australia but born and raised mostly in Malaysia. He's a real athlete and loves cricket and golf. Most of the other guys I work with are excellent cricket players: Prabakaran, Vinod, Ranga, Bhupadi, Sam Raj, Srinivas, Amit. Well, if you get the idea that we are run by foreigners, you're pretty accurate. They are all smart guys and very, very nice. But Peng's boss is John and he loves country music and playing basketball, so it's all good.
Jared volunteered to help me do some other things on the blog, but so far I'm pretty limited.
Next week we're performing our Easter cantata; I wish you all could hear it, it's so nice.
