Elder Blotter of the Okanagan?
Well,
it sounds like you had a bang up week. You will always remember
winding your way through those remote Canadian towns and doing
missionary work. It sounds like things are just going gangbusters. I
was glad to hear that you are taking it easy at McDonalds, which is a
good thing because, well, 206 miles is a very long distance. I'm here
to tell you! And the pace will be brutal. I am still reliving the
glory of September. Elder Fitzner has some unusual eating habits.
Anyway,
we have had serious drought in Utah, and no snow, with critically low
snowpack for the second consecutive year. There was a statewide fast
this past Sunday, for snow. This following week it snowed 4 FEET in
Logan Canyon. Logan Canyon has been closed all day today due to
avalanches. I have never seen this in my 46 years. An interesting
thing for the non-believing world to consider. Quite the statistical
outlier of a week from a snow standpoint. I went to the Beav on Friday
for 2 feet of fresh new powder and it was glorious. I thought "Why pay
big
bucks to go to Revelstoke BC" but then I decided that the Powder there
will be glorious there as well.
In
other news, things are well. We are well into the Winter Olympics and
your mother is glued to the television, so if you don't hear from her
this week you will not need to worry. She is fine, just addicted to the
Olympics. Anymore, winter olympics are kind of a USA versus Canada
with a few token Germans and Russians in the mix. Jacey always cheers
for the Canadians, just because of you. Claudia cannot understand why
Jacey is
cheering for Canada, but she is learning a lot about family bonds from
us in many ways. I am certain that you are immersed with winter
olympics in the great white north.
In
other news, Jenessa is doing well. A little huggy and kissy with
Daniel Lemon's older brother. I'm sure you find that a little weird, as
do I. She studies all of the time. She is finding that statistics is
awful. Overall, not a bad kid.
Jacey
Lou is doing great. A few hints of the hormonal mood swings that are
about to destroy my precious little angel, but hey, I have already
survived that once, so I am ready. Jed, our newly minted Latter Day
Saint is doing great, but has had fever for 10 days, and might have
whooping cough. Otherwise, there is a non-stop flow of disorders of the
Ear, Nose, and Throat set before me and I carry on. I will say,
however, that medicine is a very rewarding career. I have made some
fantastic relationships over the years. I had to trudge into the
hospital yesterday to see a 67 year old lady who fell and had facial
fractures. Her daughter was adamant that Dr. Blotter, and only Dr.
Blotter, would be the doctor to address those fractures. She is a long
time patient with her family. It kind of fun to
have people put that kind of trust and confidence in you. It is hard
earned, but it is a very worthwhile thing.
Grandparents
day was a hit, as always. They all seem to be doing well. Grandpa
Blotter is a tough old bird, and he had a rough year last year. He is
doing just great now. Grandpa Jorgy, well, he is still with us in
body. Your Uncle Jared is their caretaker, and he is a example to us
all.
Well, I hope the week is a great one.
