• David

I only “go by” those two but I’ll give four more that I have been called:

• Davey (from one of my nieces)
• Bamba (from half my sisters)
• Autopilot (from high school pals)
• Super Dave (from my CEO and consequently a lot of people at work.)

3 things you are wearing right now:

• Gray long-sleeve cotton “Broadlane” shirt that my boss gave to me several years ago.
• White socks
• My one pair of jeans that actually fit. (I bought them either last month or in 1986.)

2 things you want very badly at the moment

• I want to win this killer auction on eBay, it ends in a few hours.
• Chips and salsa. Oops, I guess that is three things. OK, just chips. I’ll do without.

3 of your favorite things you did last night

• Wrote a birthday tribute to my first daughter
• Laughed at old pictures with my second daughter
• Hugged my third daughter

4 things you ate today

I’ve only had one thing, Grape Nuts. Well, and milk. (Although I do have a hankering for chips and salsa now.)

2 People you last talked to on the phone

• My friend Chuck

6 things I plan to do tomorrow

• Sweep out the garage
• Fix Amanda’s drawer
• Chlorinate the pool
• Work on my lesson for Sunday
• Review the on-line Stake audit training material
• Find my personality, especially after the last one

5 things I’m grateful for today

• My family, nuclear and extended, all one million of them
• My health
• Elder Holland’s last conference address that I listened to yesterday
• My brother’s sense of humor; I won’t try to explain it but a snorkeling comment has kept me in stitches all day
• Facebook – I was slow to warm up to it but it has been amazing re-connecting with so many friends. People from the 70s in Torrance, the 80s in Simi Valley and Argentina, and even the 90s and 00s in Texas.

I tag Dan and Jamie.
