So when Mel and I found out that Jonah Hill was hosting Saturday Night Live, we decided to tune in. You have to understand that growing up I was a huge SNL fan, up until probably about the time Will Ferrell left. I had only watched 1 episode in the last few years, when Peyton Manning hosted which actually was a very funny installment.
SNL seems to go through cycles. The actors become stars, the show peaks, then the actors leave. The show then stinks for a little while until they start building up the new crop. Like I said I stopped when Will Ferrell left with the intention of coming back when the show was good again. It has been so long, so what better time to come back to SNL than with Jonah Hill hosting?
It was awful. It was like a bad episode of Mad TV, and that's bad! The skits were horribly written and terribly executed. The only saving grace whatsoever was the news spot, minus the 2 minute plug for Barack Obama. It really shouldn't be this bad. The show has talent in Poehler, Samberg, Hader and Armisen. I will give it another chance when Christopher Walken hosts next month. I just don't know if I can handle the disappointment.

Recent News
Well, we've had a busy few weeks. We attended Nate and Kylie's wedding where Melanie was a bride's maid, and I was a groom's man. It was fun. We are so happy for them, and Kylie looked so pretty. We have spent a lot of time with them over the last year, and now they have made a more permanent move to St. George so we are sad about that. We are excited to have them visit this weekend.
At the Jazz Game
Melanie's taken up sewing. She's really good at it. She is taking a beginners course and made several useful things: pillow cases, pajama pants, dish towels, and blankets. I have been occupying my time watching Tennessee and BYU beat most everybody in their path, and I have been reading a lot. I am currently reading The Creature from Jekyll Island. Pretty good stuff
The biggest news is that we are moving, which I am excited/not excited about. My house proved to be a bad investment when the market took a downturn. I'm OK, I will break even on it, but it's upsetting because we had potential to make a lot, and my partner is probably going to hurt some from the deal. We are most likely moving to Alpine now. We wanted to live a bit farther South, but my company has a vacant house here that needs tenants, so they are hooking us up. I am glad to be moving from Suncrest, though I hate the process of moving. This seems to be the worst winter people can remember, and rest assured it was worse on the mountain:
So we will probably be moving by the end of the month. Anybody want to help?
