Sorry, Gentle Readers, that's what I'm doing this week. But I have a really good excuse, on account of when I rolled over this morning I saw this out my window.

Even Mormons Take a Break Now and Then
Those of you who used to be members of the one and only true church know what I'm talking about. You woke up minutes shy of Sacrament Meeting, heaved a sigh, willed yourself out of bed, and then rolled over and played dead instead.

But just because I'm playing hooky doesn't mean you need to. Fortunately both the New York Times and the San Francisco Chronicle have my back. Thanks to that rascal Joseph Smith, the Mormons have hit the big time.
Have a great week!

What?! A relaxing vacation with a beautiful view does not make you think of Mormonism??
ReplyDeleteHave fun. : )
So jealous!!! Enjoy your vacation because it looks absolutely lovely.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely view! Enjoy your time away.
ReplyDeleteThanks guys. Mendocino and the Anderson Valley in November are just about perfect. It's not crowded, the leaves are turning on the trees and grapevines and if it's cold and rainy we just snuggle by the fire.
ReplyDeleteI'm heading into the end of a blissful 4 days of embracing my free agency and not even thinking about the Lord's anointed.
What a wonderful getaway.
ReplyDeleteJolting Joe is certainly generating some interesting publicity from the grave, eh? (I can say" eh" because I'm half Canadian.)
Looks lovely Donna. Enjoy!! I, in the meantime, am having a case of the Mondays.
ReplyDeleteTrue Alexis, Joseph is anything but boring, even while dead. And JJ, it's Monday at my house too, and back to reality. (sigh)
ReplyDeleteThis has been a lovely and welcome, but quick, break from my Monday reality.
ReplyDeleteLet me get this straight. If I wanted to have sex with a bunch of different women and not jeopardize my marriage I would have to think up a new religion and make up an elaborate story just so I could get away with it? I actually think I have run across a few guys in my lifetime that might go to that much trouble, but they had some serious issues. Mr. Smith was surely one creative dude!
I hope you got to enjoy the view for a while.
Jono -- I think Smith was a huckster who got in waaaaay over his head with his religion scam. I doubt he expected things to go as far as they did, but he certainly milked it for all the fame, power, and women he could get.
DeleteI think you're right, Ahab. And he took every advantage for the short time he had.
DeleteThe new religion ruse might work for a while, Jono, but remember, in the end things didn't turn out so well for Joseph Smith!
