Halloween 25
Today Stephanie and I dressed up for Halloween. Well, kinda. We intend to use these as regular clothes too. It started raining before Trick or Treat was supposed to start and except for one family that came really early we didn’t get anyone else. Two adults and one kid that yelled that what I had…

Sleep Hygiene
It has become apparent that I need better sleep hygiene. I stay up until early in the morning and then have trouble waking up because of the Theory of Duh. I am aware of the problem however I am not yet committed to a solution. With many of my health issues I wait until I…

The poop has left the building
It’s Wednesday and tomorrow they collect garbage from our bins. Once a week I remove the diaper garbage and clean the cats’ litter boxes. I throw away a lot of poop. Someone has to do it.

Bloody Nose
I got my first bloody nose of the season. Once we turn the furnace on the dry air makes my nostrils weird. This time it was even more strange because it happened in the shower. I went to open the door and realized that there was blood on my hands. It’s difficult to dry off…

Pajama Day
One of the advantages to working from home is that I don’t have to put on clothes. One of the disadvantages is that I sometimes stay in the same pair of pajamas for several days. I wore clothes yesterday but today has been completely a pajama day. If you are coming to visit give me…

Lithium Batteries
My son dropped a phone. The lithium battery exploded and it freaked him out. The phone will only stay on for a few minutes before it overheats. I remember when I used to believe rechargeable batteries were safe and environmentally friendly. We’ve got billions of those little devils now. They make big ones for cars…

Freedom of Religion
The Restored Gospel would have not been possible without freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion. It is no coincidence that the world was only ready for modern revelation in the United States where those freedoms are at least theoretically guaranteed. The LDS Church does not go where it would be…

Emotional Invested Arguing
There are people I care about that are wrong. I don’t think it matters how clearly or passionately I argue my case that they will see why they are wrong. Perhaps when I point the finger three fingers are pointing back at me. I am however convinced that truth exists and that I have better…

The Authentic Me
There is a horrible lie in our culture that all we need to do is be ourselves. Bill Cosby joked that cocaine made the real person come out. He asked: But what if I am an asshole? We all know how that turned out. People should generally not be content with themselves. We are a…

Sleepy and Spacey
Sleep has been eluding me for about 33 hours. I have responsibilities. If I don’t go to bed at my bedtime then sometimes I don’t get another chance until the next night. The next night is upon me. I’m sleepy and spacey and should go to bed soon.
