I report: The story As Zot, Zephyr, and Wizzbang were returning from Princess Isabelle's castle, they first stopped at the home of the Finegans were Zot lives in a mouse nook. As the approached the house, there was a dark and sad ambiance. Looking into the window, they saw the parents distressed and no sign of Sara, their baby girl. Zephyr used a Seer enchantment and saw what had..http://jay-mccarthy.blogspot.com/2008/04/zzw-hag-tower.html Tuesday, April 15th, 2008- April 15, 2008 Joseph Smith the Prophet Not as good as Libby Except Prohibition was good for Bootleggers (See here) The Hidden Assumption Military Mormons Emma Smith: I thought it was awesome.

Brinkerhoff- April 15, 2008 God's Chosen People of America, by Zula C. Brinkerhoff This book talks about the myths and history of the Hopi people. Zula is a Mormon woman who spent a lot of time with the Hopis and was adopted by them and given permission to present their case to the world. The book is very interesting: the parallels between LDS theology and Hopi myth are striking, but break down in quite a few cases. There's a bit to tie the Hopi to the Book of Mormon, but it is rather tenuous. Another unfortunate factor..http://jay-mccarthy.blogspot.com/2008/04/god-chosen-people-of-america-by-zula-c.html The Book and The Map, by Venice Priddis- April 13, 2008 The Book and The Map, by Venice Priddis. This book proposes a theory of Book of Mormon geography. Roughly, it takes seriously Joseph Smith's comment that the Nephites landed at 30 degrees latitude south (in Chile) and places the narrow neck of land on the western coast above that. She proposes that the Amazon basin was once an inland sea, which supports the neck's narrowness and that the Nephites lived on an "isle of the sea." (From 2 Nephi 10:20.) Overall, it is a very interesting book....http://jay-mccarthy.blogspot.com/2008/04/book-and-map-by-venice-priddis.html ZZW: The Frog Prince- April 12, 2008 Libby, John (her brother), Audra (his wife), and I decided to play Faery's Tale (from Firefly Games) together. John and I have played various other RPGs before---DnD, Vampire, Shadowrun, etc; while Libby and Audra never had. I thought the game was really fun and worked well. You can read reviews of the system on RPGnet. For our first adventure, I was the Narrator; Libby played Zephyr, a pixie; John was Wizzbang, a pooka; and Audra was Zot, a brownie. I adapted the adventure from one in the...http://jay-mccarthy.blogspot.com/2008/04/zzw-frog-prince.html Friday, April 11th, 2008- April 11, 2008 Why Computer Science Doesn't Matter 13 What if...

I've read it in preparation for guiding Libby through her first childbirth. Very exciting! Unlike What to Expect..., this is not scary at all. Instead, it walks through the labor process in a very scientific way, so you'll be able to be prepared. I feel very confident and knowledgeable about it now.
