Bee Weird
I am a strong advocate that normal is boring. People need, I think, to be weird. Each of us is unique and when we use our imagination and creativity that uniqueness will certainly come out. I am a firm believer in individual expression and the need to relay to the world what we can and…

Two in the Afternoon
Today has gone smoothly so far despite running on so little sleep. It’s a good thing this is my day off though. I’m feeling a little loopy and that’s never a good combination with a regular job. It’s a good day to play video games and joke around on social media. I’ve done a little…

Two in the Morning
I woke up about an hour and a half ago which in Wisconsin is two in the morning. I’ve had problems with insomnia most of my life. It is usually because I can’t seem to fall asleep the first time, but tonight I’ve already slept for a few hours and have been trying to relax…

Spring in Wisconsin
It’s the first day of spring and that means warmer weather (sort of). I like living here and I like that things are about to start growing but I’m not going to kid myself that it will magically start today. At least the bugs haven’t started coming back yet. 20 March 2023

Not Granted
Last night I had a Papa Bowl from Papa John because they are relatively soft on my teeth. I still managed to bite down wrong and the front tooth that had been bothering me so much fell out. Today my mouth hurts significantly less. I have taken my teeth for granted my entire life, and…

Actual Saturday Morning
I slept until a little past noon today except for getting up briefly at 4am to clean up poop. The house was quiet otherwise and I don’t have to work until later. So now I sit at my computer screen wonder what to say about a morning that I didn’t really have. My wife doesn’t…

Saturday Morning Energy
I remember when I was a kid I had a lot of trouble getting up for school. It got so bad that I would get completely dressed except for shoes and curl back under my blankets until I absolutely had to leave. I had the same problem on Sundays before church and occasionally wouldn’t get…
