I’m watching “Star Trek — Return of the Jedi” on TV, checking e-mail, and
wrapping things up for the night. I’d like to get to bed by about 9:30.
Tomorrow after some meetings in the morning I’m headed back home to Colorado
Springs. It’s been a pretty busy week. Lots of meetings. This morning was
the annual shareholders meeting. It was an interesting meeting. Wilf
declared the recession over and said that our book to bill ratio had climbed
above 1 (that is, we were getting more bookings that we were shipping
product. That means the backlog is starting to build). I’d sure like for the
stock price to start moving upward again. Our retirement depends on the
stock options having some reasonable value.

I went up to Oakland to the temple last night. I left work about 4:30. The
traffic was reasonable and I got to the temple a little after 6:00 p.m. I
had dinner in the cafeteria before going on the 7:00 p.m. session. The
session was sparsely attended — 5 sisters and 8 brothers. It’s interesting
to me that the attendance at the Denver Temple is better than at the Oakland
Temple, which is about 5 times the size of the Denver Temple in a district
at least five times the population.

It has been very cold here this week. It rained on Tuesday and was cloudy
most of Wednesday. The sun was out today, but it was still chilly. I’ll
leave tomorrow just as the weather warms up. I could easily have used my
leather jacket here this week. I keep cranking up the heat in the room
trying to keep reasonably warm. It’ll be good to get back to warmer country.
