A Career Path
What alternative career paths have you considered or are interested in? I don’t think I have a career path and never have. I’ve had jobs and a lot of them have been customer service. Is that a career? I don’t know. Walgreens feels like a vehicle I’m riding in and not a final destination. Caregiving…

Sausages
It is two o’clock in the morning here. I woke up after three hours of dreamless sleep. Now I’m not tired. I have Pharmacy today so I need to go back to bed. I already took an extra Trazadone to get to sleep the first time so that’s our. It’s too early in the morning…

Original Version
I am reading the original version of the Book of Mormon. I just finished the first chapter today. It has been reproduced faithfully right down to the typographical errors. I was challenged by a former member and missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints with his complaint that the Book of Mormon…

Hating is Natural
I occasionally encounter the saying that “We are taught to hate.” I disagree with both the sentiment and the logic. Human beings are hardwired to be tribal creatures. We have to work and be taught to accept others that are not like us. Love is a learned behavior not hate. Hate is an aspect of…

Magic Pancakes
What food would you say is your specialty? When the children were all young, they and my wife were eligible (all at once) for WIC. That is the Women, Infant, and Children food program. We got, among other things, 18 eggs every week. That was way more than we could eat fried or scrambled. Since…

Spiders
When I was seven or eight I went to Thursday Evening Liturgies with the adults at my father’s Episcopal Church. I always felt very grown up but they incorporated a gong into the service which I got to play at the correct moments. There was an offering plate that got passed around and I always…

Hostages
What major historical events do you remember? The first major event in the world that I remember was the crisis where US citizens were held hostage in Iran. I like Jimmy Carter. He’s a good man. But I don’t think he was a good president. Those hostages sat for over a year and he didn’t…

Mr. Miggle
This is Mr. Miggle. I drew him in the 2D animation section of Blender and recorded the animation with OBS. Then I uploaded the video to Facebook, took a screenshot with my phone, cropped it, and uploaded that modified image here. This is what I do for fun and at least one of the reasons…

Wealth and Children
What’s the biggest risk you’d like to take — but haven’t been able to? I’ve talked a little about having more wives and children. That is probably a risk I will never take though, so I will focus on one that wouldn’t likely get me put in jail: Real Estate. I don’t own any land…
