Some time ago, my scribe at work mentioned a type of bread she really liked. It was said to be very healthy and delicious as well. I remembered the name and picked up a loaf at Walmart. It really is good. Michelle also loves it and said she can’t buy any other type of bread now. Short of homemade bread, this is it!

We love to complain about the roads and the traffic. But this is one of those blessings that we clearly take for granted most of the time. We live in a country with beautiful highways. We are free to travel about, at our will, with a level of efficiency that many coutries are not able to achieve. I am grateful for mobility. 

I look forward to our semi-annual General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. After the conference is over, I regularly re-listen to the talks over the subsequent months, usually listening to a few talks each week. For the first time, I recently listened to a 13 minute Highlights audio file which contains sound bites from the talks of the prophet and apostles. I found this an interesting slant, to take in brief highlights from many of the talks in one short sitting. I hope you will enjoy the attached audio file. 

Most ophthalmic surgery is done in ambulatory surgery centers. Today I made my rare pass through Summerlin Hospital for a case. Since I am not a regular there, I don’t have my own locker. Fortunately I have friends in high places that do have their own lockers. I hope they don’t mind when I need to “borrow” like I did this morning.

Tennis has been an important part of my life since I was 10 years old. Except for seasons when I am nursing unhealed injuries, I feel very blessed to be able to play a couple times a week. No, the shots are not as penetrating. And the mobility is much more limited (becoming a doubles specialist). And if I play too often my tennis elbow and my plantar fasciaitis pull be back in check. But tennis is the only exercise where I feel I am cheating- it doesn’t seem like exercise. I am grateful to have this outlet in my life.
