Went to "Meet the Candidates" day at church while the kids were in Sunday School. Both Ben McAdams and Mark Crockett (both running for Salt Lake County mayor) were there. I was impressed with both of them and still can't decide who I'm voting for in that one.

Also had Dee Smith, the Democrat who's running for AG there. I've had all the children of his opponent, John Swallow, in class over the years and Taylor Swallow was one of my cross country runners last year so I've gotten to know John pretty well and I like him. Still, I was pretty impressed with Smith today.

I appreciated them all coming out to our humble little church on Sunday morning and foregoing their four hour long LDS services. 

PM: Walked 3.5 miles partly with Ann and partly with Andy walking home from Baskin Robbins after getting ice cream.

Ans so draws to a close my relaxing four day weekend.

It blows my mind that someone with the last name "Smith" would run for political office in Utah. Are they related to the grocery store people? Or Kevin?

Sounds like a great family day.
