I am running the battery of my phone to zero. I have been assured that this is good for both the life of the phone and the life of the battery. I however have to be careful how I do this as early in the night as it is. You see, and I’ve probably told…

My youngest was very specific in his requests today. He wanted a bath and a walk to the convenience store down the street. The trip is kind of expensive so we can’t do it every day. But we did it today. If you’ve been following for very long you know that we live in Wisconsin.…

Zero Mobile Games
Yesterday I deleted the last mobile game I had left on my phone. Theoretically that should give me more time to do productive things. And yet it’s taken me until 7pm to do this blog post about theoretically being more productive. I still need to work on some digital art tonight. I sit here stoned…
