1. A bunch of us from the Class of 72 decided to get together at 4:00 this afternoon during cocktail hour on Friday night burger night at the Elks and make some decisions about our plans for the upcoming KHS All-Class Reunion, July 21-23, 2023.
We were able to take care of business efficiently. We will have a decorated trailer in the parade. We'll decorate it at the corner of Mill and Main starting a couple or three hours before the 12:00 parade.
We also decided to free up class funds to buy food and whatever else we need for the Friday night Class of 72 party at Cindy and Denny Carlson's on July 21st.
Before long, I'll be sending out some details about that party and trying to get a sense of about how many people will attend.
2. After we enjoyed our burgers and some great yakkin' at the Elks, a handful of us continued the party over at The Lounge where spirits were merry at the bar and at the tables. It was a great scene, people enjoying a taste or two and, more important, enjoying the company of friends -- in many cases, longtime friends, even ancient ones.
3. Earlier in the day, I stumbled upon a YouTube channel called Mormon Stories. It's a regular show hosted by John Dehlin, an excommunicated Mormon who brings guests on his show to intelligently discuss Mormon topics. The episode I found today featured a panel interviewing Leah Sottile, primarily about her book, When the Moon Turns to Blood, but inevitably also about her research and podcasting about the Clive Bundy family. The program was about three hours long and I didn't listen to the entire program, but I enjoyed listening to Sottile talk about her work on this book and her career as an independent, freelance journalist and I enjoyed how the members of the panel augmented her comments and reflections.
