"The Blog Almost Too Boring To Be The Most Boring Blog in America ... for Over 5 Years!"

until it got too many red cards from Wounded Duck and the Boredom Enforcement Committee ... now the tortoise's goal is to get to 10 red cards so he can get Big Dog to drive down and take a good long walk with the tortoise

P. S. This blog listens to its readers. We have the Benjamin Category Override for 5+ mile walks and now, it humbles Tortoise to say he has been named "Lou", by Doug Jr, in memory of Mr. Consistency himself, Lou Gehrig. Tortoise can hardly type the words to think he is in any way comparable to the noble Iron Horse. Thank you!

Pictures & photos from Mr. Holland's Opus - IMDb:

Today was a welcome Sabbath day of rest. In the evening, after church and all was done, Willyne and I watched Mr. Holland's Opus ... still a great story 17 years after its original release.  I love the line at the bottom of the picture above "He wrote his greatest song in the key of life."

I also walked at least 0.50 miles and climbed 20 feet of stairs in 12 minutes, bringing my chapter 3 totals to 115.19 miles walked in 45 hours 43 minutes, with 7,463 feet climbed, and 14 swims totalling 4,640 meters in 4 hour 57 minutes.

Today's last word, from reading in Zephaniah 2 and Teachings of Presidents of the Church: George Albert Smith, Chapter 15 ...

And then there are those who accept nominal membership in the Church but who seem to feel themselves exempt from rendering any kind of service. But sooner or later they find themselves uneasy in their hearts, and doubtful in their thoughts, as we all do when we fail to do what we know to be our full duty. A man who is living in accordance with thegospel of Jesus Christ is never in doubt about its success; but the man who neglects his duty, who fails to keep his covenants, loses the Spirit of the Lord, and then he begins to wonder what will become of Zion. …
Whenever you are doing your full duty, you will know, as you know that you live, that it is our Father’s work, and that he will bring it off triumphant.10
Cheerio!
