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…

“Coming Down” is live
I have written a story called: Coming Down. It is a story that explores what the day of the crucifixion would have looked like if Jesus had refused to die. I’d like to thank the publisher Irreantum for another acceptance. Enjoy my story and the rest of the work they produce. Stay Awesome, Stay Weird,…

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…

My most feared monster
The most fun monster I ever created for dungeons and dragons was a Smurf. They had one hit point and could only be killed by one hit point of strangulation. Two hit points popped them in half and the two halves grew into two new Smurfs. All extra damage had a similar effect. 10 points…

Storms
Last week was stormy. Snow all over the place. We got ours in Wisconsin earlier this week. The lower Midwest and East Coast got hit hard with snow in the past couple of days. And then there’s the shit storm in Minnesota, but I would sooner argue about Jesus than ICE. It all comes and…
