  • 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…

  • Paying Bills

    Some people really hate paying bills. I am the opposite. I like being able to afford things. I get a sense of satisfaction when I spend money on the things that are important to me and the more important something is the more paying for it satisfies me. Stephanie pays most of our bills but…

  • “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…

  • 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…

  • Party

    I used to be able to party. Now it dysregulates me. I find arguing politics on line fun, so I still endorse The American Solidarity Party of Wisconsin. That’s a good party.

  • Cold Pricklies

    Stephanie and I are in a long term argument about whether I argue too much. When I was little I had a book that taught me about giving people warm fuzzies and not giving them cold pricklies. It, like most of my childhood, created a very unrealistic expectation of my capabilities as an adult. I…

  • Ravenous Wolves

    The Bible warns about people that present as sheep but inwardly are ravenous wolves. It’s good advice. It also reminds me to be open about the areas where I am a ravenous wolf. Even at my worst I want people to know what they are getting from me. To me the idea reinforces my desire…

  • 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…
