Till has had a lot of callings over the years, some cool 
and some silly, but has never done any of them really well 
   He eventually gets fired so someone else 
can straighten out the mess.

No need to feel bad, Till.  We all get fired.  In the Church, 
we call it "being released."  And someone else always straightens 
out the mess.  We call that "doing it differently."

And some of us get called to the same calling more than once.  We 
call it "a chance to do it right this time," but I do not believe 
that is correct.  I would call it "doing it differently than before."

You should feel right at home.

Will this disqualify you from being Stake President?  I should think it 
would in short order, rate some smartly.   Till has had a lot of callings 
over the years, some cool and some silly, but has never done any of them 
really wellHe eventually gets fired so someone else can 
straighten out the mess.


 I knew he was going to write this before I read it.



At least he's predictable, n'est-ce-pas?   Those remaining two neurons are 
easy to second-guess.


I know it is
prideful for me to admit to such flights of heady brilliance, but I can't help
being pleased that I have made such progress.



That's clearly negative pride, like sayin' I'm Leroy Brown, the biggest, 
baddest, meanest dude in town (or was that Slim?), or at least that's the 
gist of it.  Could get you a nice little chat with the Area 70 nonetheless.


And, of course, I'm somewhat
envious of Marc's view as well. Do you have a drawbridge or something so 
you can
get across that mote in your front yard or do you wait for total freeze up and
let the dogs take you around?


See how you took this to a more practical plane.  I was just so overawed at 
his front yard that I never even gave taking out the trash on Tuesday a 
second thought.

I saw the Aurora once at my house, but it just looked like somebody 
flashing a searchlight around the sky randomly.  We're just too far south 
and too perpetually overcast for any real displays.  Plus, I usually sleep 
at night, lazy creature of habit that I am.


Till, who actually doesn't have trash pickup, but the recycling truck comes 
on Monday and if it won't recycle, he don't want it around.
