What's Up with Manny?

So my favorite baseball player, Manny Ramirez has yet to sign with the Dodgers for this season. The Dodgers have made him two different offers, both for mucho dinero, but not for the 6 years and gazillion dollars he wants. I love the guy, but I have to say I'm disappointed. He burned a lot of bridges with his previous teams over wanting renegotiated contracts every year, and no one else is out there willing to take a chance on him. But rather than sign for huge bucks with the only team that seems to want him, he keeps turning them down, thinking there's something better out there. Here's a future Hall of Famer, who by all accounts does not do 'roids, with potentially no place to play this next season. I mean, the Dodgers even let him keep his dreads! Obviously he's been getting some bad advice from his Super-Agent, Scott Boras, and I think it's time to wake up and smell the pine tar. Sign with the Dodgers, show that for an entire season you can be a team player, and renegotiate next year when everyone's feeling the love for you.

And that's what I have to say about that!

Hi, my name's Tracie and I'm a Mormon. That being said, I've provided enough context for the conversation I had with the receptionist at work today: Christy: (Showing me a photo) What picture is this movie from? Me: Mmmm, Serendipity maybe? Christy: No...you should know this. Me: I should? Christy: (Finally) It's from the movie "Charlie"! Me: How would I know that? I don't watch Mormon movies. They're dumb. Now that I've let the cat out of the bag, I guess I should also confess that I also don't listen to Mormon pop music (other than the original recording of The Forgotten Carols), or read Mormon fiction. So sue me. Let's face it, it's not like most of them are of real quality anyway. When it comes to Mormon music, I'll stick with my MoTab and the hymns of Zion.

Triple D Divas Do Northern Utah

Last Saturday, the Triple D Divas met for a day trip get-away to Northern Utah - specifically Logan and Brigham City (with a little touch of Idee-ho thrown in for good measure). We started our journey with lunch at the Bluebird Cafe. Everyone knows about the Bluebird - it's about the oldest place on main street, and is tradition for anyone whose ever done a Logan Temple Trip. We went in to see the Logan Tabernacle, and I snapped this cool picture of the oragn pipes. (Of course, now that we're all in our 40's and have shrinking bladders, the Tabernacle also made for a clean and convenient potty stop.) ...Also a view of the Logan Temple spires from outside the Tabernacle...    From there, it was off to Glossner's Cheese Factory for some squeaky cheese. After that, we went to the Pepperidge Farms Outlet, and the girls all found some cookies and stuff.  But nothing really excited me there.  However, the outlet is located...

Columbia River Temple

While I was at home in Oregon, the parents and I also took some time to drive over to Tri-Cities, Washington, to visit the Columbia River Temple, and walk around the grounds. The temple was closed for cleaning, but it was great to be on the grounds anyway. It was a beautiful day, capped off by a BYU win over Nebraska (you can see by Dad's shirt that he's representing, which most of us Mormons are wont to do whenever we go anywhere).
