Hi. I’ve been busy. By busy I mean I have been insanely busy. About three, maybe three and a half, weeks ago I said to Debbie, “I can write a book by Thanksgiving.” Since no one except for me and Andy (that would be reading this) really knows Debbie, that was probably the wrong thing to say. She threw down the gauntlet and challenged me to do what I was saying I could do, and had been saying I could do for some time. Fact of the matter is that I have started and set aside several books (and by books I mean tens of thousands of words written) over the past year or two because I wasn’t personally in a place to write things<. With all that said, my life has been one continuous round of work, work, work, and, uhm, work.

Today marks November 1st and I have been trying to think about what’s changed and how things have changed in relation to my life and life in New England.
The first thing that comes to mind is that I was called to be the second councilor in the Elder’s Quorum presidency. Andy, I live with Andy and Debbie, is the President and a gentleman neither of us knows is the first councilor. He told me, when the call was extended to me and I called him on the floor for playing out that he hadn’t called me into the Elder’s Quorum, that he felt very serious about having me as the second councilor, the his initial response was not to have me in his presidency at all, but that he felt very strongly about having me as a councilor.
