  • Stayed home – changed the car battery – ran a few errands – watched T pitch – got frustrated at the lack of concern for our things. Bummer. #

  • Had a great weekend in Buffalo with Mike, Kelly, and the girls. They are all doing well and I’m really glad that I made the effort. #
  • Waiting to fly from BUF -> ATL -> SLC. It has been a very good – but VERY long trip. #

  • It took me until I was on Grand Island before I could make a cell call – luckily it was in time to make the call with our CIO #
  • Got up. Ran 10k. Showered. Now, hit the sites of Palmyra. Then, to the Jello museum! #
  • Leaving Palmyra – on towards Jello! Palmyra was very special. Loved it. #

Palmyra 10k

Filed under: Uncategorized — dto @ 6:57 am

I got up this morning and went for a run – from the Palmyra Inn (basically the Joseph Smith Farm) over to the Hill Cumorah. Along the way I stopped to take a picture or two along the roadside and up on the temple grounds. It was a great run save for the bugs – they were everywhere. As long as you didn’t stop running (to take a picture) you were fine, but the second I would stop they would swarm all over the place. Instead of posting the pictures in the main blog – you can see them on the Palmyra 10k Pictures page.

Underground Railroad

Filed under: Uncategorized — dto @ 7:42 pm

I didn’t realize that the underground railroad continued as far north as Palmyra, New York. I really need to get better at my US History.

Reformed Egyptian

The kids were wondering what the original characters of the Book of Mormon looked like. Well, at the “Grandin Printing Site” they have a copy of the “Anthon Document” that has the characters delivered to Charles Anthon. Kinda cool.

Grammar

Kris is a stickler for grammar. She calls herself a punctuationista. One man Jeff Deck has gone even further. He has turned it into a crusade. My grammar is far from perfect, but I appreciate a good grammar screw-up as much as the next guy. See Jeff’s work at Jeff Deck. His group is the “Typo Eradication Advancement League (teal)”.

To pay homage to TEAL, here are a couple of funny things I noticed in Toronto.
