Personal:

I know Sasha from the CS program at BYU. We both graduated in 1997. He probably doesn't remember me, because he was definitely more vocal in class and among the students than I was.

Married to Teresa with 3 kids: Anders (4), Kristian (9), and Zoe (12).

Fluent in Danish, but there is obviously very little need for that.

Played racquetball at lunch. I was fresh, 'cause I didn't do a morning run. I had incredible energy and it showed in the last game, when I skunked the competition 11-1. The other games were nice and close.

In the evening, I met up with some running friends for our Taylorsville hill kills. There were 5 of us there. We talked a bit about the missionaries that we saw on our run on Monday. Basically, I waived to the missionaries on Monday as we were getting water 1/2 way through the run. We talked about it more on Wed night and that conversation led into our religious affiliations. I talked a bit about serving 2 years in Denmark, and how the culture and language is similar to ours in more ways than many other countries would be. As typical in Salt Lake, the group I run with is about 1/2 lds (somewhat or fully practicing), and 1/2 not. It always provides interesting conversation. In California, people I worked with and ran with would not dare talk religion in public circles. Different culture.
