The day that
Today is a state holiday in Utah. I have fond memories of parades and dressing up like pioneers while I was growing up in my tiny town in central Utah.
Now-a-days I call today "pie 'n beer" day! More fitting I think...
But still I have to respect my forefathers who were pioneers. I guess if you look at one meaning of the word pioneer, I could be one too: "A person or group that originates or helps open up a new line of thought or activity..."
Maybe I should say: "This is the place... where Jim will take a stand" or "...where Jim will not be moved or swayed, where he will stay and grow stronger".
At least I'll be thinking of my ancestors and lifting a cold one to them.
Hhmmmm... and some pie too :-)

pie and a cosmo sounds even better to me!
I read a history book on some of the scandal and debacles the Mormons encountered on their way to Utah. Quite a different story than what I hear present LDS members 'recall' of their history.
"Breed 'em Young" - never heard that one. I like it.
I am also fond of Pie 'n' Beer day. Come to think of it, yesterday was a pie and beer day for me. Life is good.
