Body Machine
It’s been a long day. The boys woke me up early. I did my chores. I’m blowing right on schedule. When all the garbage and recycling was out I locked the door and turned off the light. Then I got into my jammies. I’ve watched some YouTube today while Ben was out. I chatted on…

Life with Autism
I have four sons. They are all adults now. The oldest is from a woman I never married. When she got pregnant she asked about an abortion and I gave her a fast and firm no. She broke off the relationship but kept the child. We have over the years mostly been civil. Brandon is…

Debate
I have never taken a debate class. I am only vaguely aware of the rules of debate. I like to argue. I like to fight. I had a drill sergeant tell me once if you aren’t willing to cheat then you don’t really want to win. This disturbs people who think I am having a…

Refresh The Litter Boxes
We have three cats. They have three litter boxes. There is one on each floor. Unfortunately the doors don’t stay open upstairs or to the basement. So most of the time the cats have effectively one litter box. If I only change it on garbage day they shit on the floor. They have been shitting…

Suffering, Struggle, and Gratitude
I have an online friend who wants to eliminate suffering. All suffering if possible. I reject the idea that this is possible. She and I for instance agree that we live in a war universe. We also agree that war is chocked full of innocent bystanders. So my argument is that we would have to…

Building Chairs
We got a big box today with all the parts for five chairs. Stephanie buys furniture in the mail and they ship it with “some assembly required.” I was able to put together all five chairs in one try. They are too large for our little black table unless we pull it out to use…
