I wasn't sure if I'd get a chance to blog today. Fortunately, the final project that I expected to take a few hours - I'd already completed it 2 months ago. What a great surprise I gave to myself! I think I'll treat myself to Matiki's tonight.
Nothing to really write about unless anyone wants to hear more about watching the NBA or about another round of disc golf . . . Here's an interesting fact. It'll sound a little odd at first I imagine. Most of the day, I don't feel overwhelmingly lonely. When does it hit me, then. It hits me . . . in the shower. Not in a dirty way (Kristin doesn't usually wake up until well after I've showered for the day). I think it's because it's one of the rare places and times when my mind isn't occupied with other thoughts. In the shower, my mind starts drifting and I always feel empty realizing that I'm alone for the week. It's not like I'm sobbing in the shower, but it's a bit depressing. Maybe that's why I fill my day with disc golf so much.
One last thing that I thought I'd mention. On the way to work there's fence where people always leave posters announcing mission returns or birthdays and such. There was an odd one today. It said, "Hey Boys!!!! Olivia's 16 now!!!". I thought it was real weird. If we have a girl, we're telling her she's 4 until she's 8. That way she won't date until she's 20. The last thing I would want to do is give boys a "Come and Get it"-invitation. I wonder how Olivia feels about it. Just because she's 16 doesn't mean she's ready for an onslaught of hormonal boys. Oh well, that's all I have to say about that.

Maybe Oliva is homely and her parents are trying to give her a boost?
Glad to hear the Olivia is 16! Maybe boys refers not to the hormone driven teenagers, but perhaps to the local police department as a warning that the daredevil Olivia will be driving the streets of Orem at break-neck speeds?
Too funny-maybe Olivia WANTS the attention...who knows?
Don't people in this country celebrate their sweet sixteen b-day? Will always is very analytical.
