Okay, I lied

Had to post one more thing...saw this movie again today and had to share this scene (one of my all time comedy favorites) since I can SO identify with it right now. Heh heh

OH! Silly me, I forgot about the 'fancy talk' at the end of this scene so to avoid that, just stop the film about 3 seconds early. *blushing*

'Too Jehovah Witness Chic For Me'

hee hee. That's what the snooty guy on Fashion Police said about Jeremy Piven's pinstriped suit at the Emmy's Sunday night. I just saw the special on E! today and had to share because it cracked me up!

Okay, this really is my last post before I leave so I'm Audi 5000...:D

My 'Laughing Place'

This is my last post before our trip...gotta pack and all that jazz. I hope to do some daily trip reports if I have the time w/ photos and such since I'll be brininging along the trusty laptop. If not, I'll do a lengthy and over-the-top report when I get back, I'm sure. Til then, I'll be kickin' up my feet here (thanks to Mo, without whom such a thing would be quite impossible):



Zipadeedoodah, my sistas!

Jose Gonzalez-Covering Kylie

I've posted a bodongo link to this song before but I found this video today and had to share. Such a beautiful cover of an otherwise forgettable pop song by Kylie Minogue. Suddenly, the words have meaning! This is why covers are sometimes a great thing:

12 Days to Wally-World

Walt Disney World that is...

I found a couple of very clever videos on youtube that really impressed me. This one is the Disney Chicks doing 'The Cell Block Tango' and the synchronization is pretty amazing...and very funny!



And since Cinderella is my very favorite of the Disney movies, I had to include this one too. The song fits so well...I really like it.

New Review: Becoming Jane (2007)

www.movinpitchers.blogspot.com

Two great videos...

Found these two videos on youtube this past weekend and had to share...

Those of you who are fans of the brilliant comic, Zach Galifianakis, will really appreciate the first one. Also makes me love Fiona Apple all over again since it's a great song and she's a funny girl. Anyway, embedding is disabled by artist request but here's the link:

THis one was my husband's idea YEARS ago! The Danzig song always reminded us of Elvis anyway. Whoever put it together really put some time and thought into it. Really, it's kinda moving (but what is UP with everybdoy disabling embedding?):

August At a Glance

August exits with a bang and now the extra busy month of September looms before me. Unfortunately, we've done very little this summer to improve our property and prepare it for selling. So that is a very big job ahead of us and since our vacation to Disney is set for the 27th, it's going to be a crazy month. I don't anticipate leaving the house much.

The weather has been hot and sticky but not nearly so hot and sticky as last year. Humidity is always an issue for me, but as for the temperatures, they're right on track w/ what I love-90's with lots of sunshine.

Early this month I took a much needed break and caught up w/ my darling friends Moose and Monkey at PF Changs in Nashville. It was a fun night that almost didnt happen and I'm so glad it did! I was also able to take a little stroll around Opry Mills mall and buy a couple of magazines and a few bargain t shirts from Hot Topic. The night ended with a spontaneous decision to get a room at the downtown Hampton Inn instead of making the long trip back. No big eventful evening but it was very nice to chat and drink Rolling Rock while watching public access on the telly. Thank you girls!

This month was also the ever-popular Wilson County Fair, regarded by many as the best fair in the state. It's a good one, for sure. Amazing food, much of it from local vendors, abounds and brings new meaning to the term 'fair food'. The corn dogs are crispier, the corn on the cob is sweeter, the kababs are 'ta die for', and my new favorite-the gyros-are extra saucy. Even Maggie Moos has a kiosk,for those of us who arent satisfied w/ the normal fair staples like fiddlesticks and funnel cakes. In leiu of cotton candy, Nathan opted for cotton candy flavored ice cream which was the brightest shade of blue I've ever seen and which made his subsequent poops an absolutely awesome shade of radioactive blue-green. This year, the music was a little less impressive but there was a really good bluegrass duo in the fiddler's grove that we enjoyed. They were off the beaten path and therefore missed by most of the crowd, kinda sad really. Nathan had not really seen live music before and he seemed to be especially attentive. After the music and a routine walk through the rabbit and poultry tent, we headed over to the tractor pull and kiddie-rides. I used to love fair rides until pretty recently, when I rode the Kamikaze a few years back and my shoulder harness smell like ralph. Also, it seems pretty unlikely that the freakish carnies that man the rides are capable of sufficient safety check in the short time they take to throw the things up. The kiddie rides seem a little bit safer so I spent that ungodly 20.00 on as many tickets and split them evenly between my four and eight year old. After a measley three rides a piece, I was able to placate them w/the statement that when we go to Disney, they will be able to ride as many of the squeaky clean, well maintained rides that they wish and so could we please go get some food? Which we did. Unlimited ice tea and fireworks were also extra nice this year. So, if this is our last Wilson County fair for a while-at least we had a nice farewell vist.

On the 16th, our friend Michael Stacey took a wife. He and Misty were married on a very nice boat at the Center Hill Marina and the wedding was so much fun! The bride wore a strapless and flirty t-length gown w/ a ribbon at the waist and sexy red patent leather shoes. After the ceremony, we all drank champagne and ate cake before the dancing commenced. It was a very chummy time and everybody looked pretty and smelled nice. And even though we all had alot of fun, hooting and hollering and carrying on,it was a very relaxing event.

The 23rd was a post-baby shower for a sister in our hall and it turned out very nice as well. We played the famous 'purse scavenger hunt' in which all the ladies must race one another to find various items in their purse and literally run them to the caller, me, who was stationed at the front of the room. It was crazy and hilarious and sometimes a little scary.

So that was August. And today is Labor Day, the first of September. Victor James had his first haircut, I'm still in my pj's at 11:33am, an America's Next Top Model marathon is on MTV, and after lunch I'm planning to take my boys to Lake Defeated for what may be the last time in a long while. I'm planning to start packing for my vacation right after I finish the laundry (I love to pack so I often do it a month in advance) and finish another chapter in Anna Kerinina somewhere along the way. So off I go...

Oh yeah, and to make a very long post even longer-Victor started walking this month-at only 10 months! So cute. He walks in short little steps w/ his arms in the air-just like a little chimp.

I Swear, It's Funnier Every Time...

I think we have watched this fifty times in the past two weeks. My 4 yr old sings it now! LOL

Enough, Already!

Ya reckon his mamma is tired of crying?

Gymnastics-For Better Or Worse

I'm wondering if I'm the only one who sees the difference in the gymnastics of this year's Olympics and those of the past? I mean, I've been watching them since I was tiny and I've always thought it was so exciting. And though I still feel that way somewhat, there is a marked difference.

I remember watching Mary Lou Retton and that crazy (and very simple, by today's standards) vault in 1984 when I was nine-where she got all perfect tens. But other than that, I never really remember watching gymnastics seriously until 1992 when Kim Zmeskal and Dominique Dawes had such fun, energetic floor routines and Shannon Miller moved around on the balance beam like some kind of insect princess. That was also the year Tatiana Gutsu and Svetlana Boginskaya made such a beautiful showing in the team and individual competitions. I think it was the best Olympics ever, as far as gymnastics goes. I've been following the teams of Bela Karolyi since then, very closely. In 1996, when Keri Strug hit that vault on her hurt foot-it was thrilling. Dominque Mocianeau was also a darling little gal, especially on floor exercise. But it seems that since then, the charm of the routines and the thrill of women's gymnastics has waned. Last night, I felt the telecast was missing alot of the variety it used to have. I remember seeing more than just two countries compete on the events and I know that floor exercise used to have more style. The routines used to be musical and more of a performance, similar to the Chinese girls last night. The Americans not only blew it technically but they were boring as heck.

On the other hand, I feel Men's gymnastics have only improved. Monday's team finals was really exciting and yes, the Chinese guys were amazing. I actually don't remember following men's gymnastics until Vitaly Sherbo wowed me in 1996. He was pretty hot. And since then, it seems the routines and the skills have only gotten more rediculous. Paul Hamm was extremely impressive in 2004 and he's also really great at Ninja Warrior, of which I'm a huge fan-heh heh. This year, Jonathan Horton and Justin Spring really stood out to me but again, not much emphasis was put on any teams other than the Chinese or Americans so there was little with which to compare them. Still, I'm far more excited about the men's all-around competition than the women's.

As a side thought, I'm still very into the Olympics, be it summer or winter, and the opening ceremonies this year were better than ever. I also find the synchronized diving to be a pleasant diversion.

Revisiting the Ray Collins Hot Club...

I've already posted these guys once this year. I care not. Love them, love them, LOVE THEM!!!



There's a marked difference between bands like this, that so authenically portray the sound that inspires them, and cheap imitations...heh heh.

Twitch-You Are My Winner!

Due to technical problems w/ my dvr, I missed the first few routines of the night...grrrr.

ANyway, here is how the final four stack up in my eyes. Keep in mind that this ranking shows what I feel should be the final standings of the competion, the winner being number 1!

1. Twitch-in the final weeks after Will left, I was torn between Josh and Twitch. The Russian 'dance-off' decided me. Twitch looked like it was his style! He was graceful and powerful beyond belief and even though I would have preferred more dynamic music, the routine was unforgettable. His floorwork was incredible, to say the least. His foxtrot was so classy and when they danced together in the contemporary routine, he was who I watched. In addition, Twitch's solo routine was full of personality and made you WANT to vote for him. The first video I posted was his audition...the 2nd my favorite routine of the season for him-showing his ability to mold himself.

2. Katie-she wasnt in my top dancers throughout the show because I felt her personality was lacking a little. The interview helped her. I also had never seen the difference in technique between she and Courtney until they danced together and it was indeed quite obvious when they did that Katie is the better dancer of the two. She seems to be able to slip more easily into whatever role she's given, such as the precious little umbrella routine to The Trolley Song. And her foxtrot was gorgeous.

3. Josh-His solo was absolutely my favorite of the night...so much personality! His jive was gritty and macho. But though he can hit any routine he's given w/ almost no faults, I simply prefer Twitch. That said, I am ready to see a Hip-Hop dancer win the show so if he wins, I won't be disappointed, regardles.

4. Courtney-Such a joyful little lady. I just loved her jive and I thought she did very well in the Broadway routine as well. During the contemporary routine, I thought she made up for her slightly lacking technique with boundless energy, punctuated by little yelps that made me smile.

Feature-List Yourself #1

Here is one of the lists from the List Yourself book I mentioned on a prior post.

List the situations that always make you cry:

1. Movies Movies Movies: i.e. To Kill a Mockingbird, Dumbo, It's a Wonderful Life, Dead Poets Society, Spartacus

2. Frustration, feeling out of control

3. Disturbing news items: i.e. The Tsunami footage, anything dealing w/ the torture or murder of children, starving children. Incidentally, I HATE the local news. They seem to love getting morbid, as opposed to just relaying facts like reuters. I've sworn off the evening news.
C
4. Seeing my kids sick or in pain

5. Death (friends, pets, family members)

6. Unexpected acts of kindness

7. A bad haircut (actually that's only happened to me once)

8. Music, especially emotionally charged broadway like Les Miserables or Opera like La Boheme

9. Powerful poetry or lyrics i.e. Christian Dedication in the 'songbook', The Children's Hour, Pale September by Fiona Apple, John Doe No. 24 by Mary Chapin Carpenter, Godspeed by Radney Mitchell (or the Dixie Chicks)

10. Watching new ones get baptized at a convention

11. Also, singing with my spiritual brothers and sisters at the conventions and assemblies.

12. Sudden unexpected pain (like stubbing my toe) or a bad stomach virus or cold, basically just feeling bad makes me cry sometimes

So You Think You Can Dance-Top 8

Best Show of the season so far! Amazing night! And may I just say, Tony Basil is the best judge ever...seriously, she needs to be a permanant fixture. Her critique was inciteful, succint, and not over the heads of us lay-people. So kudos to her!

Anyway, on w/ the ranking:

1. Will-His Samba and Hip Hop routines with Courtney were spectacular. Sexy and masculine. His solo was a spot-on, hilarious, phenomenally danced James Brown impression-complete with wig! How could he go wrong?? Still on top, for sure.

2. Courtney-A surprising pick for my number two spot. But she was fantastic last night in both of her routines with will. In the hip-hop, she totally moved me. In the samba she was Cyd Charisse-style sexy. But her solo blew me away! It was so joyful and beautiful. She accomplished more in that thirty seconds than just about anyone else.

3. Twitch-The contemporary routine choreographed by Mia Michaels was my favorite of the season so far. To that overplayed Duffy tune, they portrayed a yin and yang style couple having a-er-confrontation of sorts. Twitch was a cool dude who refused to be ruffled by his crazy girlfriend and the incorporation of the steps and the performance and even the door...fantastic. His broadway routine was absolute perfection. His solo, impressive. He's still doing amazing work, especially to be the most untrained of the contestants.

4. Chelsea-her legs, her legs, her LEGS! Even though she's not the slimmest girl, her grace and poise and freaking sex appeal are unforgettable. In the tango, she was sultry and moved like taffy. In the 2nd routine, she and Josh danced a disco. In my eyes, it seemed heavy and a little sloppy...possibly due to the rediculous ammount of lifts incorporated into the choreography. Can we please do away w/ Doriana Sanchez next season? There have to be better disco choreographers out there! Anyway, of the two-Chelsea stood out to me due to those great legs and the sheer energy she exudes. And again, her solo was just great.

5. Katee-I love her joy , her spirit, her beautiful movement. She is a gifted and natural dancer. The only reason I rank her third of the females is that I don't feel her true personality comes thru as well as Courtney's or Chelsea's. It's tough though. Her contemporary piece, with Twitch, was absolutely brilliant and her broadway was charming-though I agree it should have been a little 'dirtier'. Her solo wasnt as impressive as last week, in my eyes.

6. Josh-This guy is still able to grab every style of dance he is assigned and just 'kill' it. Yeah, his butt is big and he's a powerful guy, but he still exhibits such grace when it is called for, like in that great Argentine Tango that he and Chelsea performed. The disco was not as appealing to me but there is no doubt he was 'there' for her as a partner and he really shone on the 'Travolta' style moves in the middle. His solo was hard hitting and strong, though not quite as impressive as last week's.

7. Mark-Poor Mark. He was fantastic this week in two of his three numbers. The Hip Hop was one of the best of the season...so fun to watch! And he danced it extremely well; I actually noticed him more than Comfort during the performance. His solo was so much better than last week and he utilized the music and his unique birdlike style throughout. Unfortunately, though I felt it was still pretty, the foxtrot was not up to par with the rest of the competitors' routines and therefore, will probably be his downfal.

8. Comfort-she's ridden the wave long enough. Her Hip HOp was phenomenal-a great high note for her to leave on, I feel. The solo was dull and meandering and the foxtrot was not believable from her.

I'm almost certain that my bottom two will also be the country's bottom two.

Edit: Gasp! My top three ended up in the bottom four last night...and my season-long love affair with Will-arguably the best dancer in the show's history-came to an abrupt end when he was ousted from the show! It was a travesty. I almost cried. Anyway, I don't know what America is up to but for the first time, I'm considering picking up the phone and voting next week. Grrrrrr.

So You Think You Can Dance-Top Ten

I fell away from posting a weekly 'rundown' on this show for no particular reason other than a busy summer. It's still my favorite show on tv and the competition is still anybody's game. I am shocked by how evenly matched some of these dancers are, especially when it comes to the men. I'm fairly certain at this points that the winner will be either Will or Twitch. It strongly depends on the next few weeks.

Here is my take on last night's show, ranking the dancers individually now since that is how America votes from this point on:

1. Will-He is far and away the most 'trained' dancer on the show but he caps it off w/ great sex appeal and an actual personality (unlike Danny from last year). Last night he did a 'Broadway' routine and a ballet routine with Katie-both of which were entirely different and equally impressive. The latter was one of the most moving things I've seen on the show. His solo was spectaular and highly acrobatic. I think the competition is his to win.

2. Chelsea-This girl has been my favorite girl since the beginning. She has such passion in her face and such phenomenal technique,no matter what style she is given. That crazy blonde hair only adds to the appeal and her gams are fantastic-like Leslie Caron. Last night she did a jive (the most fun routine of the night) and a contemporary piece with Gev. She outshone him on both. And her solo was brilliant. She holds her own with Anya and Heidi, other great ballroom dancers from seasons past.

3.Katie-I have always thought she had a little less energy than Carrington or Chelsea, though she has been the judge's favorite girl from the beginning. She knocked it out of the park last night. Her broadway and ballet-style routines with Will were two of the night's best and her solo was extremely moving. I loved the fingers. I only rank her below Chelsea due to my personal preference of the latter's dancing style.

4.Twitch-Always the showman, Twitch definitely did shine last night. His Waltz with Comfort was lacking and showed their lack of skill in this particular style, but when she and he were assigned a hard-hitting hip-hop routine later in the program, both of them pulled out all the stops. It was the highlight of both of their time in the competition, in my opinion. In addition, Twitch's solo routine was one of the best memorable of the night. He's fantastic, no doubt.

5.Josh-He has done exceptionally well from the beginning, due partly to his partnership with Katie. But each style he was given was surprisingly well-danced. Last night he danced a Ramba and a Hip-Hop with Courtney. They seemed to mesh well as a couple and their sizes suited one another. He was stoic and strong with the Ramba, sexy and cool with the Hip Hop. And his solo was marvelous, really showcasing his athleticism and soul.

6.Courtney-did a fabulous job last night as well. Her Rumba and Hip Hop routines with Josh were fantastically sexy. She was very evenly partnered, I felt. Her solo was stunning...absolutely beautiful. It was nice to see her dancing alone again after the auditions.

7.Comfort-Not one of my favorites from previous weeks, Comfort came into her own last night, mostly thanks to two opportunities to perform her own style. She didnt do well w/ the Waltz but it wasnt horrible and her hip-hop with twitch was incredible. Also, her solo hip hop was really energetic and fun. She almost didnt come back because she got voted off last week but with Jessica's injury, she won another chance. And proved she deserved it.

8.Gev-Not my favorite but he surpassed some of my favorites this week. He did very well with both his Contemporary routine and his Jive. He is so little that he doesnt make the impact that someone long and lean like Will does, but he does a good job with every style he is given. I was not as impressed w/ his leaps as Mary but I am not a dancer and I only go by what looks good to me. They seemed sloppy. His jive was much more to my taste, though of course it paled in comparison with Chelsea. His solo was a typical breakdancing routine. It was mostly tricks with very little rhythymic movement.

9.Mark-has a great style-almost birdlike in nature. Kind of a cross between hip-hop and jazz and his quirky looks add to the appeal. Though his solo was great, I didnt feel it showed off his style to its best advantage and since his technique isnt as developed as Will's, for instance, he really has to make up for that with charm. The two routines he did with Carrington, the Western Two Step and the Jazz routine, were both only okay. I rank him higher than she however because I still love his style and in the Two-Step, he was the stronger of the two.

10.Kherrington-dissapointed last night. She has always had the most luminous face and such a great technique as well. She is young (19 or so) but her stage presence has always been strong. Last night, she and Mark (one of my favorite guys) had a Western Two-Step, which bombed, and a jazz routine that seemed a little trite in the choreography department . Both looked meandering and lacked energy. She couldnt connect w/ her partner and seemed out of her element...but her solo was still stunning, even if it didnt seem to match the music.

WALL-E-Added to my Pixar Reviews

I added a quick mini-review of this latest Disney masterpiece to my existing Pixar post. For those of you who haven't seen this precious movie-see it! It's easily one of the best.

Interesting Stuff and Nonsense

I was alerted to this cool blog a while back and now I'm addicted. A photo 'commentary' on european street fashion...so cool I can't stand it:
http://www.thesartorialist.blogspot.com/

Anyhoo-the Guided By God's Spirit District Convention was one of the best yet, of course. We had a great time even though it rained off and on the whole time and humidity in Huntsville Al was at 90%. The Huntsville City Park is such a lovely place to hang out during lunch and since we were staying at the Holiday Inn accross from the Convention Center, we took advantage of our close proximity to the park to visit it 'after-hours' as well. I thought it might be a hassle to walk to the site every day but it wasnt bad at all. Jew toted the baby and the kids shared the lunch load and books. I even took my parasol along which was a life-saver during our stroll. Ladies, invest in a pretty parasol if you're going to be out-of-doors. I can't stress the good sense of this enough!

Last night was Johnson's first talk. His reading was in the back school but consisted of fifteen verses in Acts that were replete with long, multi-syllabled city names. He did a great job pronouncing the names correctly and kept a nice audible tone throughout. Daddy gave him a new flat-top for the occasion...so handsome! Afterwards, we made it a point to visit Sonic for treats since it was a special event. He really felt important...heh heh.

In other news, my dog, Mrs Roper, is convincing me repeatedly that she is indestructible. A few days ago, my neighbor hit her with his truck while she chased him down the driveway. She and my Pyrenees Bernice have the worst habit of doing this, despite our efforts to keep them from it. So it was inevitable that one of them was hit. We thought Mrs Roper was a goner; she flopped around pitifully after the fact and couldnt use her back legs at all. I had to carry her to our porch and give her fresh water and food right there. I couldnt take her to the vet right away because Jonathan had two of the car seats so we decided to wait until the next day and see how she was faring. The next morning, she was still pretty perky and didnt seem to be in too much pain, though she still couldnt use her back section at all. I took her to the vet and he diagnosed her with a 'hurt back'. Since there were no broken bones, he gave her a shot of cortisone and some antibiotics along with the positive statement that he wouldnt be a 'bit surprised if she bounced back'. Not 20 minutes after the shot, she was already putting a little weight on her back legs. Looks like she might make it after all.

Murder and Coincidence

So last night as I 'nodded nearly napping' in my trusty brown recliner, I came across some more useless animal info to share. You guys may know this stuff but it was all new to me. Collectuve animal terms are tricky...a pride of lions, a band of gorillas, a yoke of oxen etc. But I had no idea that the technical term for a group of crows was a 'murder'. A murder of crows. When I googled it, incidentally, there were a ton of movies and bands with the name-it's pretty catchy, I'll admit. Other interesting collective animal names: A leash of fox, a storytelling of ravens, an army of frogs, a bale of turtles, a cry of hounds (also a 'mute of houds'-condradictory, no?), a shrewdness of apes, a down of hares, a drift of swine, a kindle of kittens, and a 'labor' of moles. Cool stuff, huh?

Change of subject:
Here is a cool true story that just reeks of coincidence and shows how small a world it is, especially when you are in the truth:

In May, the old man and I were watching House Hunters on HGTV-an episode in Las Vegas where a young professional was moving out of his parents' house to a home of his own. We always watch the episodes that are set in the areas we are considering for our coming relocation. Anyway, this episode was immediately appealing because the guy was probably close to thirty and still lived with his parents-and he owned a successful business designing swimming pools. I told my husband 'He's probably a Witness' and we both laughed. Then we noticed some very familiar looking books on a shelf in his parents' house as he was being interviewed; I was almost certain they were boundvolumes. My husband was still unconvinced. Next, the guy introduces the family dog who happens to be named-'Philea'. I just looked at Jonathan but he smiled and shook his head. The realtors in this episode were 'old family friends' according to our house-hunter and they were all very comfortable on camera and gestured alot. By the end of the show, I was just sure they were all our brothers but again, my husband just told me there was no way I could know for sure.

Anyway, last week I contacted my friends from a neighboring congregation who have aquaintances in Las Vegas and asked if they could put me in touch w/ them so that I could ask some questions about the area. I was given the name of a young brother in the area who owned his own business and who might still live with his parents; my friends weren't sure. They gave me his business phone, which I reverse searched online to see if there was a website. It was a business that designs swimming pools. I immediately thought of the guy on House Hunters and decided to google the guy's name and see if there was a photo of him online. Sure enough, the house-hunting guy and my friends' friend in Vegas are one and the same! I was excited and my husband was wierded out...heh heh.

My Dad-Doing Victor Hugo Proud...

Isnt he handsome? My dad has accomplished his goal and Victor Hugo's 'The Man Who Laughs' is finally available to American readers. This version is a little more friendly to modern readers and slightly abridged. A screenplay is currently being marketed and will be released in book form soon. The novel can be purchased at Amazon, Borders, or Xlibris (the publisher).

In other news, We have adopted a new kitty. His name is Frank. We found him the other day when my oldest son and I were on our way to town. While driving a frequently travelled back road, I almost ran over the wee thing when I rounded a bend and he was in the middle of my lane. I missed him, but turned around to see if he was okay. I stopped because he was still in the road and instead of his running, as I expected him to do, he came right up to me, mewing pitifully. I'm such a softie. I couldnt resist him. My son held him while we drove to the gas station and got a can of cat food since the kitty's ribs were showing and he was very frail. He ate it all up and fell asleep in Johnson's lap. We put him in the basement w/ our other cat, Possum. They didnt like each other much at first but are getting along now.

We have sold the back portion of our property and are in the process of cleaning things up to prepare the house and 6 acres for sale as well. We are still planning to move out west. Not sure if we'll be in Utah, Nevada, or Arizona yet-still doing some research.
