“Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he’s been robbed. The fact is that most putts don’t drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration; most jobs are more dull than otherwise. Life is like an old time railway journey… delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride.” (Jenkins Lloyd Jones -Big Rock Candy Mountains,” Deseret News, 12 June 1973, A4).

Oh, Wow! My dear Brandi. It is so good to hear from you. I guess you saw that I had a little boy last summer. Maksim is almost 7 months! Ivan and I love being parents, but we are finally dealing with the "let the boy cry himself to sleep" dilemma. It's tough love, right?
I am going to link your beautiful music website, I hope you don't mind. Keep in touch!
