Mom on SL Trib Front Page of Utah Section


Economics and education: Meltdown makes for fine lesson

My mom teaches Financial Literacy at West High School and had people from Zion's Bank teach the students about credit. The day before she had the newspaper come sit in one of her classes to see how high school kids are learning to handle their finances.

How bout them Utes!!

Oh my freaking gosh! Thursday night the University of Utah played Oregon State. To be quite honest, I didn't know anything about Oregon State's football team, so I thought we would kick some ass. Boy was I wrong! OS scores first with a field goal, ok we can get that back. Then the U ties it with field goal. Hmm, come on Utes. Oh then our quarterback throws an interception that gets returned for a touch down, IDIOT! I couldn't believe it! At half time the U was winning 20-15, good thing OS kicker missed a point after and two tries for 2 point conversions. Then in the beginning of the third quarter OS came back and scored a touch down, missing the point after again so OS was winning 21-20. Crap, come on Utes! With just less than 2:30 mins left of the game, OS scores another touch down, WTF! Disappointment across the stadium, people started filing out. Then with 1:48 left of the game my roommate Jessica turns to me asking if I was ready to go, but I just sat there like we can't leave yet telling her we will come back and she asks if I had been watching the same game. So we stay, and with 1:29 left of the game, the U scores a touch down! Then we try for a 2 point conversion, pass interference, try again and we get it!!! Tied at 28!! Crowd screaming and jumping for joy!! Jessica turns to me and says, "Nice call." Wow, is this really happening?! The U kicks off, thinking they would kick an onside kick, but no, OS gets it and starts to run, oh no. Long story short, the U gets it back, makes some awesome, and well needed, catches to get within field goal range, then with 2 seconds, yes seconds, left we kick a field goal and win 31-28, crowd rushes the field. What a game!! The End

R.I.P. Caesar




The time has come to put our dog Caesar down. He has been a part of our family for 16 years! It was so hard, but needed to be done. He couldn't see, hear, walk, control his bladder, you could see he was in pain, it was so sad. He is much happier now. We will miss you dearly Caesar Howard Rhodes.
