Autocross Video

I finished 6th (out of about 20) in the Street Tire class. Below are videos from my DNF run (I lost control and went into the grass) and from my final run.

Fun going fast

Here are some pictures from my day at Virginia International Raceway.

Spring

For you Mom, enjoy your snow!!!

Good thing they record General Conference

A good look at where I'll be and what I'll be doing Saturday.

Should get up around 125mph.

In-car footage for you next week...

You know what time it is...

It's time for General Conference!!!

(picture by my friend Matt Page)

What does General Conference mean for Team Bosworth? A few predictions:

1. Mass consumption of waffles

2. 8 incorrect guesses on who the new member of the 12 will be

3. A general consensus that Elder Holland's talk was amazing.

4. Ever-so-slight guilt over checking Final Four scores during the Saturday Afternoon session

5. Mass consumption of Dieterschnitzel 

Am I missing any? Please fill us in. 

Pinewood Girl-by

This week has been one crazy week!!! Wow, we have hardly have time to sleep. The last of our adventures this week was supporting the YM/YW in the ward with a pinewood derby and bake sale. Our brownies went for 25 bucks...and no they were not Mom's microwave ones. The fun part was that Hallie got to race her very own car. Tobin stayed up way to late carving and sanding it, and Hallie and I had a blast painting and decorating it to her very pink standards. She won no races....but claims her car is super fast. She also has the cutest most blinged out car, so she is the WINNER.

Blessing

Hello,

We finally took some pictures of Adelaide in her dress. I will email out to those who are interested what was said in her blessing.

On a side note, just because I am thinking about it right now. Tobin's graduation is May 9th, for anyone who is interested in coming out.

The Upcoming Golf Season

The video speaks for itself.

Grandpa Rich

I've been thinking a lot about Papa lately--maybe because we recently got to spend time with George and Tom, and I am just always blown away at the awesomeness of the Rich family. When I think about Papa, the first things that come to mind for me are:

1. Pancakes of all different shapes and sizes. Dogs, airplanes, snowmen, and of course "basketballs" (I can't believe he fooled me with that trick).

2. His barbecued pot roast in the dining room on Berkeley Street.

3. Going for walks around the block in Salt Lake with Papa and Burt the dog after dinner.

4. His joke about the statue of Brigham Young in downtown Salt Lake: Facing the (Zion's) bank with his hand out, while his back was to the temple. I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants.

What do you think of first when you think about Papa? (You can chime in too, Tom!)

New posts

I just wanted to let you know that B has posted about 10 things in the past week on our family blog. We often post similar posts here--and we still may--but for the moment, there are too many to pick from.

One of Scott's companions opens a restaurant

I do not share Scott's fear of pee, but I still wouldn't eat at these places.

It's not me, I swear!

I don't even live in Oregon anymore!

My first car was a 1992 green ford escort.

Mildly Interesting Facts

Lead article in today's Herald Journal:

"Money" Magazine has rated Logan, UT the third best city in the country to live. Criteria included proximity to a major metro area (SLC), positive population growth, median housing below $350,000 (Logan is $205,000), cost of living no more than 20% above the national average, a healthy economy (Logan's unemployment rate is below 3%), a major college or university and plentiful arts, recreation and culture.

snow day

And we thought we had moved to South to be WARM...nope. We enjoy icy snow and doors frozen shut. Maybe we are really still back in Colorado...oh, wait, it is 72 degrees there today.

Easter Traditions?

Beatta informed me last night that our family (meaning you all) is the most boring holiday family in the whole wide world when it comes to Easter. I concur.

Mom, Dad--shame on you for instilling in us a complete lack of celebratory traditions for Easter.

But has this persisted? Do any of you (meaning Alison & Tobin, Ryan & April) do much for Easter now that you've escaped the un-fun iron claw of Fairway Drive? Do you have any suggestions for new traditions?

For my part, I'm thinking of making our kids dress up in bunny costumes like Ralphie in the Christmas Story for church. But I'm open to other suggestions, too.

Atlas Shrugged

From Marginal Revolution today:

Counter-cyclical asset of the day: Atlas Shrugged

Sales of Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged” have almost tripled over the first seven weeks of this year compared with sales for the same period in 2008. This continues a strong trend after bookstore sales reached an all-time annual high in 2008 of about 200,000 copies sold.

Hat tip to Newmark's Door.

Ahh...feel the goodness just filling the room.
