Gifted Fish is on a distinguished road
Default Greetings

Looks like I'm just another among the multitude of lawyers on the board, but thought I'd at least say hello. Poked my head in here awhile back, and after growing tired of the "other board" blather about Utah restaurants and superficial religious threads, I decided come over for what appears to be a little more thoughtful discussion.

Love BYU football, don't like BYU basketball (front-running Rebels fan who grew up in Vegas). Trying to sort out my religious beliefs during the last few years by diving into everything I could find after a family member decided the church wasn't for him. On the days I'm pretty sure God exists, I think the Mormon conception of existence is the best framework I'm aware of to help me become a better person.

Married, a few kids, love to run trails, and looking to start doing some ultramarathoning.

Welcome aboard, Fish.

Believe it or not, we like lawyers from Henderson.

I'd love to get into trail running. There's some trail heads around here for the Bonneville Shoreline, I've just never done it.

Gifted Fish. Curious name. May I enquire as to your fish's particular talent? Me, I've always wanted to own a babel fish. Haven't been able to find one, though. I was disappointed to learn that the babelfish website does not actually sell said fish. Talk about false advertising! harumph.

That is a curious name. Perhaps he is a Patrick McManus fan:
