Spooky Season
Bear with me. All Saints Day (November 1st) begins the Christmas Season. The Christmas season runs until about Valentine’s Day (February 14th) After that Comes Saint Patrick’s Day and Easter. The Easter season runs from Valentine’s Day to Independence Day (July 4th). July 5th, and I am sure of this, starts Spooky Season which runs…

Another Day
Each day is a new opportunity to do better, but lets be honest, doing better is a case of three steps forward two steps back. And sometimes that third step takes more effort than the rest of the week. So I sit here and type on my phone about getting better without actually getting better.…

A Will of its Own
How much agency did the One Ring in Lord of the Rings have? Did it want to be returned to Mount Doom? It was ultimately a slave of Sauron, and the magic in it might have sought release from that bondage. The One Ring ruled the other rings but was itself ruled. It was a…

Never a Dull Moment
It’s a little after midnight again and the house is finally quiet. I don’t think everyone is asleep yet but they are all upstairs in their rooms. I however am not ready for bed yet. It’s been a busy day. Diapers, Baths, and Meltdowns. Arguments with my wife. Arguments online. The cats have to be…

Life and Death
The two professions that immediately come to mind that I admire are medics and soldiers. They are both called to work in life and death situations. Small mistakes can have large consequences. I don’t think I could handle that stress of having someone else’s life in my hand and I am impressed with the people…

My Alternate Life
Describe your life in an alternate universe. Since alternate universes can range from horrid, to weird, to awesome, I think I will pick an awesome one. In my awesome alternate life I am the center of the universe. All the mathematical models of people, planets, and stars revolving around me are simple and aesthetically pleasing.…

College Food
What’s the most money you’ve ever spent on a meal? Was it worth it? The first time I attempted college it was a very expensive school. An equally expensive meal plan was a requirement after tuition. I don’t know which meal cost the most because they all cost so much. But those meals were the…
