Recently watched Nicolas Cage and T�a Leoni in "The Family Man", and Karen Allen in "The Basket". For Halloween, I dressed up as a bumblebee, Becky and Bonny both dressed up as ladybugs, and Misti dressed up as me (greased back hair, my work shirt, and a pillow for a belly).

Recently finished another audio book, "Nightshade" by John Saul. This was definitely a creepy book, even for a murder mystery. Very suspenseful. Recently passed both the 2000 and 2100 workunit marks with Seti@home. You might also notice that Brad is no longer in the top 10 of our group. He'll be hard pressed to reclaim his position.

Well, I finally lost more than 10 pounds on my Herbalife diet (I have now lost exactly 11 lbs). I didn't want to talk about it until I had lost at least 10 lbs, because I figured that anything less than that would be temporary or too little to matter. It's going slowly for me, but I'm getting there. My goal is to lose 25 pounds total, so I've only got 14 more to go. Nearly halfway there.   =)

I attended the 13th Annual Nevada Humanities Awards last Wednesday at Bartley Ranch, put on by the Nevada Humanities Committee. We are related to Earl, Beverly, and Steven James Crum, recipients of the 2002 awards. Other recipients included William Jacobsen and Warren d'Azevedo. After the ceremony, I was fortunate to meet some more members of my extended family, Katrina ('Kitty') and her husband, Naomi's daughter and son-in-law.

David's family 'farewell party' was Friday night, and he was set apart yesterday morning by President Earl. He enters the MTC on Wednesday. (I was also pleasantly surprised to see that the MTC now has a webcam.) Today during Stake Conference, Becky and David were named by name as Pres. Earl recounted yesterday's uplifting experience, much to our surprise.   =)

In an ironic twist (considering my earlier post on why digital compression sucks), Dave gave me a Sony MZ-R500PC Recording MD (Minidisc) Walkman.
