What manner of man ought ye to be?

The kind that would pee in a cup for his friend. Jeff Crook walked into my office and said, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions. I've been meaning to book a cruise for you and surprise you, but I know you'll get it down faster. So, go on a cruise. On me." Totally awesome. So we went on a cruise with Corporate Alliance to the Caribbean and met wonderful friends and had a great time back in February 2007. One of our friends got stung by a jellyfish on the beach one day and Johnny was willing to pee in a cup and wash the sting. I assume there is some sort of healing property in urine OR the pH of urine helped to counteract the sting of the jellyfish. What a guy. Then, bring the story full circle when we moved to Cedar Fort, the bishop of the ward was the brother of the woman who was married to the man who rinsed his foot in Johnny's pee. The bishop's father also went on the cruise with us and was also father to the woman who was married to the man who rinsed his foot in Johnny's pee. What a small, wonderful, germ-filled world that we live in...

Happy Father's Day, Johnny. We love you. We honor you. We are grateful for the man and father and husband and brother and teacher and creator you choose to be.
