Weak in review

Well it has been an eventful week for the family. Monday I went to the funeral of my best friend's sister. Then later in the week was Sparky's first Pinewood derby. Unfortunately he had a father who didn't apply the requisite graphite to the wheels so he came in last in all his "official" races. He did however beat his buddies car that wasn't part of the official races. Saturday Wife went with her after-school bunch to a chess tournament in Green River. We also had Stake conference this weekend. I'm doing a part time job of maintaining the town's ice rink on weekends. This involves riding a big broom (no witch jokes please) and putting layers of water on the ice. It's OK work except for the late nights and the temperature. I felt bad that we didn't go to nieces wedding but I was also relieved that I wasn't trying to drive in the very thick fog that hit us that day. I just didn't feel good about trying to travel then. I do hope everything went great and I wish the couple the best of luck.
