Why is dad going to be gone for so long?

Yes, now dad is in Utah, from Monday until Wednesday, and on Sunday, they were talking about how Dad might be having to go to Utah every other week for a whole week! Now that would really stink, as Dad would be gone 26 of the 52 weeks of the year, in which some important stuff might occur, to be found out at a later date. However, we also don't know when this is going to occur. However, I am going to enjoy my time with Dad while it lasts.
