The Lost pilot and some other scenes were shot up at the very northwest corner of Oahu, at an out-of-the-way, remote beach. We went there. The fuselage from the planes in the show are stored at an airfield across the street from this beach, but I didn't know that until later and we didn't see it.
Lost fans here too. Clicked on your name randomly from that comment list for the giveaway at DesignMom. 4 kids, next year we celebrate our 10th -- I want to go to Atlantis -- and my husband grew up in Lindon. Small world.

We spent the day with Neil and Diana. Went to the Desert Sonoran Museum and to Cafe Poca Cosa. It was all delightful! I kept looking at Neil and thinking, "Man, he looks like Matthew Fox!" He says no one ever stares at him and asks him if he is Fox, but I say it's bound to happen soon.AG

For those of us who haven't met your brother, do you have a picture?
I just read this scripture quoted in a blog comment thread, alluding to. . .me. 2 Nephi 9:28 28 O that cunning plan of the evil one! O the vainness, and the frailties, and the foolishness of men! When they are learned they think they are wise, and they hearken not unto the counsel of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves, wherefore, their wisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not. The context: I had suggested that Ezra Taft Benson's political views as expressed in 1968 before he was the prophet were not the official political views of the church, and shouldn't be construed as such. It is actually not the first time this month that I've been told through scriptural references that I am a wicked person {my extrapolated take-away from the conversations}. I give up.
I don't have a lot of real visible or artistic talents, but one talent that has served me well is an ability to manage and organize money well. A few of my sisters-in-law have asked me how I do the family budget, so this is a straight up accounting of how I do the accounting. When we get a paycheck: 10% tithing right off the top Then, with the remainder (net minus tithing), I divy it up into percentages and put money into different "funds" -- that I keep track of in the back of my paycheck because I'm old school like that. Mortgage: I figure out the percentage it will take to cover my mortgage. Usually 29-30%. I think this percentage needs to stay under 35% of take-home after tithing. Baby steps: 20% goes to meeting financial goals a la Dave Ramsey's baby steps. This means that you focus on one thing at a time, leaving the rest so that your money is not so thinly spread and you can make visible progress. This presupposes that one has abandoned using credit, and i
