Happy April Fools' Day!

I took calls for the KUER fund drive from 6AM to 9 AM today (April 1st, 2009). Snowy morning. But not like Monday had been. I had lots of calls. One from a Society for Technical Communication (STC) colleague. At that early hour, he didn't recognize my voice, even after I joked around a bit. Another caller thought I was Doug Fabrizio of Radio West. And that's nice because there are many, many people who have a voice crushes on the guy. The first time I encountered this, I mentioned his name and an entire advisory board, men and women, sighed and blushed in unison. Needless to say, whatever story I was telling at the time got lost. Oh well. I volunteer again 6AM to 9 AM tomorrow (April 2nd, 2009). For more, see the KUER Web site. Pledge what you can.
Now, I'm home and enjoying a quiet house for a while. We're renovating our kitchen right now. The cabinets are not yet started but the oak floors are in, the new windows installed, appliances purchased and stored around the house. Many, many steps to go. So, when there are quiet moments in the house, well that's a good thing.
I'm concerned that Governor Huntsman signed Senate Bill 216 into law. It enables the Air Force to build a resort in an area that Park City and Summit County have set aside as open space. Mind you, the area was set aside several decades ago and has played a part in creating a pleasant gateway corridor for the Park City resort community. For more, see Guv signs, then scuttles, plan for Air Force resort.
Last, be sure to check out the April Fools' Day edition of The Daily Utah Chronicle, the University of Utah's Independent Student Voice Since 1890. I am still laughing at the picture accompanying the article titled Sakoda working to set new punting records. Which gives you an idea of how verily advanced is my sense of humor.
