Reach out and touch someone

Those old phones were pretty cool.

A note in passing

A dear sister from our ward passed away a couple of days ago; she would have been 92 yesterday. She was the sweetest, dearest lady one could ask for. She was always willing to serve. Every time she met with the bishop, she would ask him if there was anything she could do to help the ward. I seriously have no doubt that had she been asked, she would have coached the Young Men's basketball team as well.

Thanks for your example, Marjorie. We'll miss you!

Season's greatings

We're 15 (hundred)!

This marks, more or less, the 1,500th post to Beckstrom Buzz! As per tradition, we celebrate the milestone with a rerun of my first published cartoon -- and I'm glad that it still makes me laugh!

I've been doing this blog for more than four years. I didn't think I had that much material! Thank you for your support, your comments and feedback. Mostly, thanks for visiting and making this possible!

Once again I'm running a sneak preview of next Sunday's Good Heavens. It just seemed timely.

RIP, Mr. Sendak!

Monday Sketchbook: Dress for success

Maybe if they wore the loincloth things like saggy pants. That might do the trick.

Special Mother's Day doubleheader!

These are sort of variations on a theme. The top one is an adaptation of one that originally appeared in Zarahemla Times. The particular version also is in this week's Meridian Magazine.

I heard from the missionaries in our ward that they can Skype home on Mother's Day. That got me to thinking what they might have done back in Helaman's time...

It probably would have worked just as well (if not better) without the header.

Either way, get off the computer and go tell your mom that you love her! Happy Mother's Day!
