About Tooele County, UT

What a difference 48hrs can make!

First of all, let me state that I'm an avid sports fan. Always have been, always will be.

My wife, on the other hand, is not.

Saturday night found me at the Energy Solutions Arena, home of the Utah Jazz. I was being the good husband, accompanying my wife to the Coldplay concert she's been waiting for for 3 years. Nothing against Coldplay, but my tastes tend more toward Boston, Journey, Styx, The Eagles, etc.

Saturday nights show absolutely turned me around. They played with such energy and passion that I couldn't help becoming a fan. It was a great evening, one I'd repeat in a heartbeat.

Fast forward 48hrs.

Same venue. I was being the good dad, accompanying my son to watch his (and my) favorite team, the Jazz, playing the Chicago Bulls, a sub .500 team. Should be a rout, right? Let me tell you, I've never been so bored in my life, and most of the crowd that bothered to show up obviously felt the same way. The most excitement in the place was during the jump roping performance during halftime.

If not for my son, I'd have probably walked out very early. I guess I was spoiled by the "glory days" of the Jazz, but there was none of the energy or passion I'd seen two nights earlier, either from the performers or from the crowd. I left Saturday night craving more, and I left last night relieved that Larry Hughes hit the game winner at the buzzer to save me from overtime. Yeah, the game was that close and it was STILL a snoozer! I think I'll stick with the college sports as I've been threatening to do every time I see an NBA game.

My advice to you in this time of dwindling entertainment dollars is to blow off a major league game and take in a good concert! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to load the new Coldplay album into my ipod...

It's probably been a while since I mentioned how much I love living in Tooele County.

Where else can you do all the things you can do here ....... in a single day?.

Berna was the Chair for the annual Chamber of Commerce Santa Parade this year, and as usual, it went perfectly. My job is to line up the entrys in order at the start. I get that job because I enjoy all of the heads of the girls dance groups yelling at me about each others music so much.

The weather was beautiful, especially compared with last years blizzard. We then served cookies and hot chocolate to nearly 300 VERY patient kids, from Stansbury Park, Erda & Grantsville as they waited to sit on Santa's lap.

My favorite family had three kids from age 4 to 8, all of whom brought a list. All 3 of them seem to think they "need" a Blackberry Touchscreen. One of them thought their mom might need one too.

The kids were great. Many of the parents, not so much. Oh well.

After that, we got to go down to heaven on earth; Miller MotorSports Park. For a donation of a can of food, you could take 5 laps around the east course in your own car behind the pace car. Berna decided that today was the day to try it. Many others did too. She loved it, as I knew she would. She might have loved it more if I hadn't just put the snow tires on my car, and the guy in the new Dodge Challenger hadn't driven like such a granny.

We then had an extended session on the go cart track.

All in all, a great day!...... Is it any wonder I love living in Tooele County?
