Its Tuesday, the second day of our vacation and we are currently sitting at the Salt Lake City airport waiting to go to LA. We spent the evening last night with 3 of my friends and their wives as we shared a meal, told tall tales and shared our lives. It is always fascinating to me to spend time with people from different parts of the country and to hear their perspective on faith, politics, parenting and all other things that come up in conversation.

Portland was cold and rainy and we are hoping for more moderate weather in LA, I am sitting here in shorts in anticipation. We hope to spend the day with our oldest son Michael Stephen and have dinner with both our boys and some other friends from the area. Michael Cranston (our #2 son) is the marketing manager at a restaurant called Ruby's and we get to eat for free!
If you travel through airports much you are aware at how interesting people are. I enjoy hearing their conversations,, some people are working, some are traveling for fun and then there are those who are traveling because of family crisis. But it is comforting that for the most part people are friendly and polite while we share this short time of our lives together.

Blog you tomorrow!
