Treating the Symptoms
I didn’t have a good morning. I woke up weak, shaky, and with a headache. I don’t like being sick at this point in my life. When I was a kid being sick meant I got to stay home from school. But nowadays it doesn’t prevent the need to power through it and take care…

Butthole Eyes Bob
I spent most of my day playing a special event in a mobile game called Bud Farm. I just won first place. The game uses parodies of real people. They have one for Bob Ross named Bob Rosin. The event was with mutants and the Bob Rosin mutant is Butthole Eyes Bob. That is first…

Stephanie Day Off
Stephanie and I have agreed that she needs at least one day off a week from taking care of the children. Saturdays are her day off and my day to do all the supportive home care. It’s still a pretty typical day for the kids. My youngest wanted a bath first thing in the morning.…

Certainty
I fully admit that I am not certain of anything I believe. I believe my wife loves me. I believe the earth will continue to rotate and sunlight will reach everywhere it’s supposed to reach. I believe the USA still has a couple of good years out of the political cycle left in it. I…

Washing Your Hands
I just read along with an audio of the seventh chapter of the Gospel of Mark. The disciples weren’t washing their hands before they ate. The Pharisees were upset because it violated the laws of ceremonial cleanliness. Jesus tells them they are teaching the commandments of men instead of the commandments God. But the thing…

September 11, 2024
It is the “anniversary” of the 9/11 attacks in the USA. Americans were nicer to each other in the days that followed. Facts were scarce to begin with so people hadn’t started arguing about who did it and why. But it didn’t take long for some people to paint Muslim Americans with a large bloody…

Environmental Justice
I got a survey request from the city about what ways our environmental justice grant should be spent. It took about twenty minutes and was all open ended questions. I love giving government types my opinion and this one was especially satisfying because it’s local and my ideas might not be aggregated to determine if…

Dreams Evaporating
I’ve been extra tired lately. Stress sometimes just does me in. Today, after my sons had received the care they needed, I layed down to take a nap. I slept well and had a cool dream. Well at least, I think it was a cool dream. It was pleasant and interesting during the dream. Then…

The Sabbath is for Man
Today I have rested. I haven’t been to church in months because that is anything but restful. I still kick myself for being less productive. Did the gods rest? Do they? Or is divinity 24/7? Men need rest. We are finite and fragile. The eternal and the sublime may recede in certain times and places…
