Deconstructing Civilization
When people deconstruct the civilization in which they live two things happen. First their society becomes less civilized. This is apparent in the disrepair of the values of the Western world. Granted some of those values are unhealthy, but at this point I think we’ve been literally throwing away a lot of babies with the…

Convenience or Is It?
My youngest asked for a walk this morning. I told him later. I got him ready a little while ago and his older brother decided he was coming too. I don’t like taking both boys out by myself but we all went for a walk to the local gas station and convenience store. It’s not…

Easy Chair
I’m sitting in the good easy chair, drinking a beer, typing to you, and thinking about how little I am fighting my ultimate demise. We had Culver’s last night. I had fish (cod I think), cheese curds (not very fresh), Cole Slaw (probably too sweet to be healthy), and a salted caramel milkshake (because whatever).…

Ether Got A Shower
There is a black and white stray cat in the neighborhood. We call it Popo after the police. Ether likes being outside but unfortunately is very territorial when it comes to Popo.

Just One Beer
Danny bought me a six pack tonight but I was only able to drink one. I had it with a bowl of lasagna and they made me tired. Danny went home early because he was tired too. Lord do we know how to party. LoL

The Prevalence of Autism
I was having a conversation with a friend who works primarily with disability advocacy and bureaucracy. We were discussing the rise in autism diagnoses. The prevalence of autism has become much higher. Or has it? The diagnostic criteria has changed significantly in the past twenty years. So have the incentives for testing. Are we really…

Slept Too Hard Again
It’s 3:20 pm Central Daylight Time. I woke up twenty minutes ago. My life is exhausting. Stephanie picked up my slack, so the boys got the care they needed, but crashing out like this makes me feel like a loser. But at least Mondays are technically my day off so I don’t have to adjust…

Forgot to Fast
At five minutes after midnight last night I opened the LDS Study App. The hymns for our Sacrament Service appear on Sundays. The first hymn of today’s meeting was about the blessings of fasting. I was currently eating a midnight snack and finished it because I could in theory start a fast. I went to…
