Rosemary Olive Oil
Lately when I am in the easy chair Ether has been climbing into my lap. He’s scabby and mangy at this point because he has been violently grooming himself. He likes to do that in my lap, so I decided I would see if I could help him. We have an old bottle of rosemary…

Read a Book
A few days ago I replaced the charging cords on Alex’s Kindles. Since then he has not touched either one. I disrupted his routine and now the routine seems to be gone. He doesn’t really know what to do with himself so he’s been wandering the house more. That is probably better for him than…

Becoming an Optimist
For most of my life I have been intentionally pessimistic. Bad things can happen and bad things do happen. But when I thought of a bad thing first I was either more prepared when it did happen or pleasantly surprised when it didn’t. Life has been pretty good lately and I’m inclined to believe it…

Shower Time
I washed my bedding this afternoon and took a shower a few minutes ago. So I’m as clean as I get. Clean on the outside anyway. I still have a dirty mind. Stay awesome!

Resting from Church
I haven’t been to Sacrament Meetings in ages. I slept in today. So did Stephanie. Sunday is a day of rest or at least it’s supposed to be. But religion is performative for me. Don’t get me wrong I love the brothers of the Ward, but I just don’t think I have anything to prove…

Relaxing
I’ve been up for 36 hours. I’m starting to get tired. I’ve taken my meds again. Hopefully this time they’ll knock me out. My muscles are a little tight too. Maybe I need some Naproxen. At any rate I need some sleep. May your dreams be weird and awesome.

Baptized Twice
When I was a few months old I was baptized as an Episcopalian. It’s pretty easy to be Christlike as a little kid. I was thirteen before I learned the Ten Commandments. That was right around the time that I was confirmed as a member of the Episcopal Church. The bishop had powder on his…

I Don’t Say It Enough
I am grateful for all I have. I am grateful for the work I do and the ability to do it. I am grateful for my trials because they refine me. I am grateful for my wife. I am grateful for my kids. I am grateful for a refrigerator full of food. I am grateful…

Too much sugar
I haven’t eaten very healthy today. I had some beef roast. But I’ve also had donuts, ice cream, and fruit punch. It should be no surprise to you when I tell you I’m gaining weight. Sooner or later I’m going to get to the moment when I’m sure just one more sugary bite will kill…

Stand Up For Yourself
The world is full of jerks. Don’t let them win if you can help it. I don’t know who all of you need to read that but some of you do. Stay weird. Stay awesome. And stay firm.
