Dave Wilton explains:
"At sixes and sevens means in confusion or disorder...It originally referred to betting one’s entire fortune on one throw of the dice....The phrase dates to c.1374 when it appears in Chaucer’s Troilus and Criseyde: 'Lat nat this wrechched wo thyn herte gnawe, But manly set the world on sexe and seuene.' (Let not this wretched woe gnaw at your heart, But manly set the world on six and seven.)"
And so, this blog will be a place to comment on the world around me. Sports, Movies, Politics and of course the oddities of Mormon Utah. As an active, practicing Mormon, and also as a filmmaker, I find myself in a unique spot in the world. The ideals of Mormonism and Film are strange bedfellows, and as we see time and time again are often...incompatible.
However, often doesn't mean always, and with feet firmly planted on the ground, the two can coexist in dramatic fashion. Indeed they must exist, for as Mormons, we have stories to tell.
So off I go, setting the world at six and seven.
