Happy Thanksgiving

We wanted to wish you all a happy Thanksgiving. We wish were with family. Ben is in the capsule today, but we got permission to go have lunch with him! How many people get to have Thanksgiving at a nuclear launch facility? It will be a day to remember.
We love you all.

Sundry Benge Stuff

Isaac was ordained a Deacon last week, and I was set apart as the YM 2nd Counselor and Asst. Scout Master. Neither of us know what we are doing.

I am now a Church employee. I hope that is good.

Rachel turns 1 today.

And that pretty much does it.

This is an old Bob Newhart recording that I think teaches the Word of Wisdom in a funny way.

Here is some interesting math, if you want to try it:

YOUR AGE BY DINER & RESTAURANT MATH

It takes less than a minute. Work this out as you read. Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out! This is not one of those waste of time things; it's fun.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to go out to eat (more than once but less than 10)

2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)

3. Add 5

4. Multiply it by 50

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1757 ... If you haven't, add 1756

6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born

You should have a three digit number.

The first digit of this was your original number (i.e., how many times you want to go out to restaurants in a week) The next two numbers are YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)
