The Gift That Keeps on Giving…

I hope. For those of you who weren’t able to make Gary’s 50th birthday party, we gave him what may turn out to be just that gift. We gave him a $25 bet that the Yankees would win the World Series (oh well), and another $25 bet that the Giants would win the Super Bowl.  What I don’t recall is the odds…I think either 30 to 1 or 40 to 1. Funny thing is, Gary isn’t sure where he put the ticket.  At this point, he has decided not to look for it so as not to jinx them. I agree, but I certainly hope he’ll have to look for it after the game.

Five years ago I was in Arizona at a business conference. Archie Manning was the motivational speaker at one of our meetings. At the question and answer session, one of my co-workers asked Archie which son was a better quarterback. Surprisingly he said Eli! He stated that Eli had better control than Peyton. He certainly seems to be showing that control in his last few games. Hopefully it will continue.

Wish Gary and the Giants luck!

The Utah Falls were the lucky recipients of some pretty tasty gifts this Christmas. Check it out…Gary sent Lisa a spectacular photo book – National Geographic “Greatest Places.” 500 pages of awesome contemporary pics from around the globe. Really cool stuff. And it benefits UNICEF. Way to go, Gary! Can’t go wrong with photos. The gift I got was aimed straight at the gut. Crème-filled Cupcakes, Butterscotch Krimpets, Peanut Butter KandyKakes (still the best)…there’s even some new thing – Crème-filled Coffee Cakes. I’m saving that for last. I’ve used my power of deduction to conclude these came from UncleLar, it didn’t really say. (If I’m wrong about that I apologize to the giver). Anyway, UncLar – sweet job. They will be devoured in a most appreciative way. I’m thinking tomorrow’s lunch is a Chocolate Junior. Happy New Year,

Kenny & Lisa

P.S. – Gary…very nice Christmas Card post. Setting the bar pretty high!
