Healing
Stephanie has been writing about healing a lot lately. Her own healing is her story to tell and she is telling it sporadically. My own healing is relatively minor compared to her needs. I hate being sick. I don’t allow health problems to slow me down when I can help it. But that means when…

How’s the Sickie?
The Princess Bride starts with Peter Falk walking into his grandson’s room and asking: How’s the Sickie? Today I have been sick and I don’t like it. I’ve gotten some extra sleep but I still feel like my butt has been kicked. I don’t know if I picked it up on my trip this weekend,…

Accents
I occasionally hear people complain about English spoken with foreign accents. I am usually fairly forgiving of people who know my language better than I know theirs. Spanish accents don’t bother me, neither do Mediterranean or Indian accents. Oddly enough though when it is obvious that English is a person’s first language and they pronounce…

Am I Helping?
My homeless friend came again today. He got his replacement ID. I didn’t look but it probably still has my address on it. We talked and he, Ben, and I listened to Weird Al. While the song foil was playing he talked about someone who he was sure knew everything about the Illuminati. He said…

So Darn Sleepy
I’m laying on the couch looking up at my screen and wondering why I am extra tired. Mind you I’m always tired. But today has been especially tiring. I got up when I’m supposed to and did all the work I regularly do. I had some fun today and several intellectually stimulating conversations. Maybe it…

Catalog
We got a catalog of warehouse supplies today. Stephanie had no use for it so she put it with my stuff. I looked through it and there were at least a few things I might conceivably use. So I decided to keep it. However as I’ve mentioned before our son Alex is a book thief.…

Calling Myself a Mormon
I have been called a Christian several times in the past few days. I usually don’t argue about that because I am at the very least a “cultural Christian.” If I’m arguing with an atheist it’s not worth the trouble to correct him that I’m a Mormon not a Christian. But I make the distinction…

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…
