Saints and Beer
I am confident at this point that beer is not against my religion. While Joseph Smith Jr was alive the early Saints were allowed mild (alcoholic) drinks. The Word of Wisdom specifically allows mild drinks, so I’m feeling less guilty about drinking a case (12 bottles) of Sam Adams Boston Lager every week. The THC…

Vampires
I’ve been thinking about Wendigos. They are foul spirits that wander the wasteland greedy for flesh and spirits. They are a very different kind of vampire from the ones I grew up fighting. There are some who will just suck the life out of you if you let them. It’s easy to understand how their…

Don’t Reject Me
Christ was despised and rejected and acquainted with grief. I do not want to be. That is all.

Those Gaps
Stephanie and I have a friend who is really into Star Wars. He is convinced that everything in it is possible once we have the science for it. I call this the science of the gaps. Atheists complain about attributing the things I don’t understand to the gods. They are right to a point but…

Three Beers In
Stephanie let me sleep this morning. Ben didn’t but she let me go back to bed after he was done with me. Diaper and soda first thing in the morning. What a life. But today has mostly been mobile games in between the job of taking care of my adult disabled autistic children. The struggle…

Mobile Lies
Today has been a better day. I went to my counselor for the first time in months which got me out of the house. I should get out more but I prefer to be home in my pajamas whenever I can help it. I’ve mostly been playing Bud Farm on my phone today otherwise. It…

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…
