Pandora.

Pandora may be the best thing ever created. All I listen to all day is a combo station of the Gypsy Kings and Louis Armstrong. That's right....Spanish Guitar and Ragtime Jazz. As a result there are two items very high up on the bucket list...

1.Spend a week in New Orleans and get VIP Passes to some jazz shows

2. Spend a week in Spain sight seeing and learning to play the Spanish Guitar with the Gypsy Kings.

One day.

In other news, I am out of shape. I lost in my racquetball tournament primarily due to the fact that I ran out of gas. I need to start running or something, but then I remember how much I hate running. Ohh vhat to do... vhat to do... (movie?).

PS If you want some easy listening while around the house, try out my station. You should at least familiarize yourself with the Gypsy Kings. It's like all I listen to.

MTC Food update.

Remember that idea I posted about a month or so ago about letting missionaries give food to needy families? Here is an update

After a ton of research, the idea "pitch" is sitting on the desk of the CFO of BYU. He is also the President of BYU's sustainability program. I have yet to hear back from him.

I tutored a high-school kid here in Provo whose Dad happens to be the President of United Way here in Utah County. He gave me a bunch of data and overall concerns about the idea. That has been included in my report.

Here is what I am getting: "Great idea, wrong location. Provo is so full of volunteers, Bishop's storehouses, and food banks that this might not be the best solution". If it was in downtown Jacksonville, it would work, but not perhaps not here in Provo.

The main reason for its lack of potential is that the United Way is all about helping families become established and independent. Handing out food won't fix the problem. Ay!

Any ideas?

Oh that I were a superhero...
