Wow, I composed a response to John's assertion about the photo in Grandma's Book of Remembrance, but it has disappeared! I presume I must have hit a wrong key and accidentally not posted it (or some such problem), but I only just discovered that it's not here. It's not someplace else, is it? It's so...

Well, looking harder and taking more thought, I wouldn't say for sure that woman in the Anderson photos is Zina. But she surely resembles her enough to consider the possibility.

Hey Steve, just what is your “underground drug business”? Ginger root? Sarsaparilla? Maybe minerals? Do you have a stake in Edward’s mines, which it’s nice to know have been stable for several years? Seriously, tho’, Ian, Hugh Nibley was a great but flawed man (for instance, he was a liberal Democra...

I haven't looked at the other Oliver Boardman Huntington photos yet, but I believe the woman in the first-listed photograph is his sister Zina. http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=zina+huntington&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2 BTW, I can't believe that the picture in what I'm seeing as the...

Me too. Well anyway, I don't want to be Betty Crocker.

This is interesting. It does seem clear that faith is both a doctrine and a principle. If we say that faith is a doctrine of the Church, then we're saying that we practice faith, we believe in the use of faith, and so forth. On the other hand, in addition there are many doctrines about faith, some o...

Oh good, The Hundred Dresses by Eleanor Estes, but really, anything by her and especially all the Moffat Family books. Even just reading the titles of all these wonderful books that have brought so much goodness to our lives makes me happy. Easter is coming pretty soon, so don't forget The Golden Eg...

Well along about now I should think you'd be wanting to name the child Mitt Mott. ??

I do think that a sort of addictive cycle that Tuly references is at the root of procrastination for many people. But as for me, when I procrastinate it's usually because of fear, and the way through it has been prayer and blessings. It's funny, tho', because there's a pattern in my life that I have...

I hasten to add to what I've written before, that it was NOT my intention to compare Santa Claus to Mother Eve, nor the Santa Claus story to the literally true Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil event (which we are given to understand, by the way, is framed symbolically). What I DO mean is that one ...

I just read SUCH A GOOD BOOK!! You've probably heard the title: Einstein Never Used Flash Cards. The authors were students of Elkind who wrote The Hurried Child. I honestly think every parent or parent-to-be should read this useful useful book.

Aw gee, Edward, go for broke! Say you're kidding! You're kidding, right? Eddie? Right?

Raymond Briggs' Father Christmas?

AH HA HA!! You are very persuasive, Edward (and witty). I think Santa is powerful enough to weather the assaults, though. The Grinch may have been able to steal presents, but he couldn't stop people from having generally right ideas about Christmas. And I dunno about that black-and-white business. S...

Steve said: "Although, upon further thought, exceptions like Nephi with Zoram, or some of the Nephite captains' trickery with the Lamanites were just that: special exceptions. And they were often in times of conflict. "Is Santa Claus a necessary exception to the general commandment of hone...
