Monson on Sunday afternoon. My wife did a hilarious impression of his swooping, feel-good cadences. I wonder how/why this style of speaking evolved. Maybe they're envious of the tab choir getting to sing?Christopher Bigelowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01417741940958662788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11513909.post-11822357355937213402008-10-07T11:36:00.000-06:002008-10-07T11:36:00.000-06:00All I can say is I am grateful for the DVR!
