The waiting game
Posted by Ben Sat, 22 Jul 2006 07:13:00 GMT
I’m sitting here in LDS Hospital waiting for the birth of my first daughter. We’ve been here since about 8:30am. We were woken up to Amanda’s water breaking at about 7:15, so we got up and started getting ready to go to the hospital.
Is a very interesting feeling waiting for a first child. Our lives as a married couple will forever be changed. Nine months of waiting doesn’t prepare you for this process. Sitting here in this room with Amanda all wired up is surreal. I have no idea what the road ahead holds for us.
I can’t wait to take the first steps down that unknown road.
LDS Book Wars

I have refrained from saying a whole lot about the Deseret Book and Seagull Book & Tape wars, aside from a few comments on Michael Cleverly’s Blog.
Today, though, Bob Lonsberry put his 2 cents in, and he reference something I hadn’t heard of before: the Rotary club’s 4-way test.
- Is it the TRUTH?
- Is it FAIR to all concerned?
- Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
- Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?”
That seems to be a good basis for an ethical business to me. I’ll be sure to have those rules in mind as I go forward with my own career.
