Temple Worthiness
I wrote the bishop of our local LDS ward about what is going on in my life. Divorce is hard. Getting to Sacrament Meetings is hard. But zero beer and THC has been better than using. I’m also not trying to screw around. When the divorce is final I might marry again. But I’m absolutely…

Up Late
My sleep hygiene says I need to be in bed by 11 pm. My mobile game says I need to start the new day at 11 pm. The game usually wins. I’ve also got Alex’s Kindle to turn off at 11 pm. I’ve decided that it is not fair to make him change into a…

Overdue for a Haircut
What do you think? Am I overdue for a haircut? I’m torn. A bunch of extra hair is good for the winter months, and the ratty hair and beard go with my ratty teeth. It’s definitely weird, but I don’t know if it’s awesome or awful. I feel the same way about my life. The…

The Cast Iron and Brick
We had a plumber come in today to find a leak. He opened up the ceiling and several walls. The leak is in a cast iron drain pipe encased in brick and there are water capillaries through the brick now. That is almost exactly as bad as it sounds. Tearing up pipes in the wall…

Desperate and Apocalyptic
I was arguing about Late Stage Capitalism with Stephanie while listening to Amy Grant. Christian music has become very desperate and apocalyptic. The imminent return of Jesus feels about as unlikely to me as a complete economic collapse. I grew up hearing about both. It’s been 50 years and neither has happened yet. I was…
