Out with the old

This week was a major turning point in my life.  I finished at my old job on Friday and will start my new job on Tuesday.  I won't be in Salt Lake City anymore, so I won't be able to walk around downtown and take pictures.  So where does this blog go from here? It will need to take a new direction.  
Here are some of the things that you can look for me to write about.  
- Cycling: I'm not very good at it, but I like to ride.  It's great exercise and it's fun.  Whether it is with my cycling club, the Wasatch Wheelmen, or by myself, I still have a great time.  
- Photography: This is my old and my new hobby.  I put it aside for several years, but I'm picking it up again.  I'll continue to post lots of pictures.  
- Personal productivity and Leadership: This is a personal quest of mine.  If I find great tips, I'll post them and comment on them.  
- Reading: I try to read at least one book a month.  I know that isn't a lot for some of you avid readers, but it keeps me away from the TV.  After I read a book I'll post a review.  
- Reviews of things I have seen and done:  I think great service and experiences should be rewarded and poor service should be exposed so that others don't have to fall into the same trap.  
That's about it for now.  Follow along.  Maybe this blog will evolve into something worth your while.

Marking Scriptures in Gospel Library

The other day as I was reading my scriptures and using a few of the available colors to do some highlights when I realized that I wasn't fully utilizing the entire pallet of colors. In the Gospel Library app there are 10 colors available.  Each of these colors can be used in the underline, highlight, or text color mode.  I asked extended family what they do and one of my niece's responded with this color code: Red- doctrine Orange- clarifications or explanations of doctrine Yellow- commandments and specific instructions Purple- promised blessings and how to attain them Grey- power phrases Blue- favorites Dark blue- ones with a deeper meaning (I always attach a note with a dark blue)  Pink- examples of Gods love/charity Brown-specific for our day Green - Not used This "Come, Follow Me" color code seems to be all over Pinterest.  I'm not sure where it came from, but it is based on the 12 colors in a small box of crayons. Here is a color coding

No, I am not a vegan

Why I'm not a vegan (or a vegetarian for that matter).  After my previous post about the Word of Wisdom , I felt I should write an additional post covering this topic.  First, the word "vegetarian" means nothing.  There are so many levels, tangents, and offshoots of vegetarianism that applying the label to yourself or anyone only causes confusion.   Some vegetarians eat dairy, some don't.  Some eat fish, some don't.  Some eat eggs, some don't.  Some are weekday vegetarians, and some only honor meatless Monday.  And the list goes on and on.  Labeling yourself as a vegetarian is simply a label that brings on a confusing discussion.  So, I don't use it.   I'm not a vegan either.  You see, vegans typically fall into three categories: - They are in it for their own good health - They are doing it to be kind to animals, promote animal rights, avoid animal cruelty, etc.  - They are doing it do save the planet The trouble with many vegans

Bajio, Cafe Rio, or Costa Vida?

It is time for the showdown.  Which one is best: Bajio, Cafe Rio, or Costa Vida?  Or is it (as was my opinion) that they are all exactly the same? I decided to do a taste test.  Six people participated.  Three were salad testers and three were burrito testers.  None of the people who participated have any food judging experience although a couple of them have competed in cooking contests and have a couple of first place finishes to their name.   Each couple went to a different restaurant and picked up a Sweet Pork Salad and an Steak Burrito to go.  We ordered each salad with black beans and their creamy green dressing (whatever they happened to call it).  The steak burritos were ordered enchilada style with black beans. Then we all met at a central location and judged each dish on the following: Value Score = Weight (oz)/Cost($) Overall Appeal (visual appeal, aroma, garnish) Recipe (Cooking, ingredient combination, too moist or dry) Taste (Flavor combination, Seasoning, Texture
