However, at the risk of offending some, here is the content of an email I sent to the good folks at http://deseretmediacompanies.com/ responding to their new ad campaign and mission statement:

To whom it may concern:

I just want to state that I find disingenuous and somewhat offensive your statement that you “desire to treat everyone with dignity and respect” when too often your programming simply encourages controversy, divisiveness and partisanship by failing to “treat everyone with dignity and respect.” 

 

(Yes, I included my name and contact information.)

I've honestly never listened to the Ad (I think it's crazy they are wasting money to advertise anyway!), but if that is what they say I'm glad you sent that. I completely agree with the statement.

Power of free speech?!!! How's the pool running?

Smooth, the pool running is actually a nice change. Ant, at least I am not making the tendinitis worse.

"...at least I am not making the tendinitis worse."

That is the important thing right now Paul. I can say from my long layoff last year, that the down time from running won't hurt you at all as long as you keep up the cross training. Just get that tendonitis gone and your running will take care of itself.

I should have been doing this pool running back at the end of last year. Live and learn.
