Why Libby Logic?

While waiting for Rickie Lee Jones to take the stage last night for a truly bizarre performance conversation -- of course -- turned to me. Or, more specifically, this blog. Even more specifically, what this blog seeks to accomplish. Apparently world domination is not an option -- or at least not yet. Ryan brought up that the blog should offer something unique, something that has people coming back every day for me. What could I offer like that?

My answer? Me.

Now, I like to think that I am far from conceited, but I also like to think that I have some kind of twisted world vision that peaks some interest. However, I realize that might not be enough for some people -- and therefore I will also try to offer top notch advice. You have a question, I have an answer. Every query will be answered using the Libby Logic fashion -- bluntly and honestly. You can remain anonymous if you like. Or, if your friends have problems, send those in, I'll answer them too. Then you can pass on a little bit of Libby Logic as your own.

Oh, also, if you tell ten people about this blog the ancient gypsy curse that you know has been hanging over your head will be lifted. If you don't tell anyone -- you'll probably get a cold sore.

Snowing

It is snowing here in Utah today -- which means several things...

1. Everyone forgets how to drive. No matter how long they have lived here, or how many snowstorms they have been through in the past no one here remembers to just go slow and try not to stop. Instead they go fast, slam on their brakes and spin. Really.

2. People will use the snow as an excuse. Lateness, forgetfulness, impotence -- everything today in Utah will be blamed on the snow. I plan to eat an entire pizza today and blame the snow. After all, I need a thicker layer of blubber in order to help me fight off the cold.

3. News will be all about weather. For some reason people won't believe it snowed today -- until they see it on the news. We will have a huge number of viewers -- and all of them will want to know about one thing -- the strange phenomenon of white flakes falling from the sky.

4. Lots of people will call in "sick" tomorrow. Fresh powder, enough said.

One more into the abyss...

It's finally happened -- I have joined the millions of people who believe their thoughts, feelings and sandwich recipes are interesting enough for public consumption -- or at least for the consumption of the ten or so people I can guilt into reading it.
Let's start with a bit about me. Of course, if you're reading this you are probably my Dad or some other close relative -- but hey, you're already here -- so indulge me. My name is Libby Mitchell and I live in Salt Lake City, Utah -- the smallest big city in the world.

I am married to a wonderful man named Ryan.

We live in a little house.

We have a dog named Sally, three cats and a number of marauding raccoons who come down from the hills to regularly eat the koi in a pond in our backyard.


Life, for the most part, is good. I work as a television producer at a local station. That balances out all the work that Ryan does as a teacher at a private high school. He makes them smart -- I bring them back to reality. I like to think its how we do our part for cosmic balance.

Of course, now that I'm on the Internet, I totally rule. Ryan will have to like conquer a planet to catch up with me.

Its a Libby revolution.
