My weekend? No Easter Bunnies were harmed-

Or even consumed at my house. We skipped buying any festive goodies this year and nobody seems the worse for it. The BSU & I did attend Easter service at Washington Heights Baptist Church. Surprisingly, she had asked me where there was a Baptist church and I mentioned Washington Heights and she announced that was the church she wanted to attend. And so we did. The service was wonderful and we both enjoyed the music which was a combination of traditional Easter songs and more modern praise songs. The pastor was energetic and had a point to make, which he did very well. Overall, the church was a little more casual than I'm comfortable with, coffee in the sanctuary seemed to be standard practice, but otherwise I was really glad to have attended an Easter service in such a vibrant church.

Sunday afternoon I had to make a trip to Salt Lake for car repairs on Son Kye's car. It had broken down on him Saturday, requiring a tow. Troubleshooting over the phone led me to believe the starter had failed. Troubleshooting in person confirmed my suspicion but not in any way I might have guessed. The 2 screws securing the solenoid to the starter had disappeared! They weren't just loose, they were gone! So, with the tools and jack and stands, we were able to get the starter removed without incident and replaced with a new one from AutoZone that was free, since I bought the failed starter less than a year ago.

Saturday turned out to be schoolwork all day, including a meeting with my Log Management partner, Angelique. We've a presentation that is kind of stuck and needs some kind of spark. Right now its thorough but it needs some kind of hook to really pull it together.

Friday was lunch with the BSU at one of the chi-chi places on historic 25th Street in Ogden, Roosters. The mayor of Ogden, Mathew Godfrey was having lunch and doing business just 2 tables away from us! We also went to see Take the Lead, the new Antonio Banderas movie. I'll try to get a proper review posted later today and a link but I'll say this now- Take the Lead is a terrific, fun movie. Its formulaic to a degree, but what movie isn't? I really enjoyed myself with this movie. 

I gotta get back to work...
