What's In This Blog

I created this blog for my journal. I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In this blog I keep many of the things I come across as a member of the church. I also share my experiences on the ACE Train and getting to work, my experiences in Manteca where we have lived for three years, and other things I think are noticeable.

2018 Pioneer Day Concert with Special Guests - Music for a Summer Evening


This is a must see.  What isn't to love, Rogers and Hammerstein songs, Matthew Morrison and Laura Michelle Kelly from "Finding Neverland" the musical, and narration by the grandson of Oscar Hammerstein.  Whether is is the coir, or the performers providing solos or duets, this is one show stopper after another.  This may be the best Pioneer Concert ever.

This is us at a recent party.

Mormon Tabernacle Choir Concert

The Choir was in Mountain View at the Shoreline Amphitheatre June 25.  They were excellent. They went from song to song very rapidly. 

I looked hard for Sheri's cousin.  I never saw her and later discovered that as a first year choir member she does not tour with the choir.  My particular favorite was "Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing."  They did some crazy clapping with "Betelehemu."  As part of the encore a guest conductor from the San Francisco Gay Men's Choir conducted "This land is Your Land."  We had a great time.

Egret at Bass Pro Shop

I saw this critter a couple times at Bass Pro Shop.  I am sure he was helping himself to the fish, and not catching and releasing.

Ship Brooklyn Musical

A new musical based on the Ship Brooklyn, the ship of Mormons which same to San Francisco (then Yerba Buena) in 1846.  Sheri has designed the se, and has been building a ship on stage.  I have helped some, along with others from the area.  Should be a really fun show.
