Ratherthan reinvent the wheel, I share with you the op-ed piece I wrote for the Deseret Morning News that ran in this morning's paper. You can read the original, along with sundry comments, here.  ____________ Where should the new Broadway-style theater in Salt Lake County be built? That was the implicit question posed in ...

In addition to this one, I'm going to be running a new, less personal blog. I'm sure you're very excited. 
It's going to be over at theprosceniumsandy.com. It goes live tomorrow. It's all part of a fantastic new arts development going into Sandy City.  The pictures and the video and all kinds of stuff involved ... Read more

But at least it's there.  Turns out I had changed the password for the database. I changed it back, and voila! Slow board returns. iPower continues to suck.  I've been a neglectful landlord over there ... Read more
