Good morning! Here’s your forecast: ⛈️ 50 – 78° in Logan |💧 30% chance ⛈️ 65 – 83° in Salt Lake City |💧 30% chance 🌤 66 – 92° in St. George The General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is around the corner, and it seems like all Utah natives have special traditions, plans and memories about this time of year. For me, although I have lived in the same neighborhood as the conference center for many years, I have never attended a live session of general conference. I get so overwhelmed by the traffic, I usually just cloister myself in my apartment! Nevertheless, I love going to visit my parents, cooking with them and getting some spiritual renewal. One of my favorite professors from college, however, loves conference weekend for an entirely different reason. She’s from Massachusetts, and was delighted when she moved to Utah to discover all the brunch places were deserted two weekends per year. She had no need to make a reservation. The two of us may be different, but we can agree on this: Conference weekend and food are a match made in heaven. Tell me: Do you have any traditions around this time of year? Reply and let me know! I’d love to use them in tomorrow’s newsletter. Also on our minds: Are we underreporting veteran suicides, voters aren’t as polarized as we think and is it too soon for a Gabby Petito movie? |
