Zip Ties
A couple of months ago our can crusher fell apart because the zip ties that were holding it together broke. I tried to glue the machine back together but that just made a mess, so I decided that new zip ties might restore it if I put them where the old ones broke. Sadly I…

Temple Worthiness
I wrote the bishop of our local LDS ward about what is going on in my life. Divorce is hard. Getting to Sacrament Meetings is hard. But zero beer and THC has been better than using. I’m also not trying to screw around. When the divorce is final I might marry again. But I’m absolutely…

In Case of Emergency
Stephanie is stuck at the motel without a vehicle. I have been overly reliant on her driving for our entire marriage. I can and do get rides from other people, but again that relies on her being in the house for the boys. I have a plan in case of emergency, but I will share…

Up Late
My sleep hygiene says I need to be in bed by 11 pm. My mobile game says I need to start the new day at 11 pm. The game usually wins. I’ve also got Alex’s Kindle to turn off at 11 pm. I’ve decided that it is not fair to make him change into a…

Listening to Bach
I spent $15 for 10 random classical music vinyls. In the collection was a set of Brandenburg Concertos. So Ben and I are listening to Bach. I’ve explained harpsichords and violins to him. He doesn’t want to miss a thing when I play a record. Overall it’s already been worth what I paid.

The God of Israel
Three years ago today Hamas massacred Israeli civilians. I spent a minute in silence to remember the horrific attack. And then Israel went to war to defend itself. Now it is being blamed for committing the atrocities that it suffered. It is milenia old blood libel yet again. But God is with the Jews more…

Overdue for a Haircut
What do you think? Am I overdue for a haircut? I’m torn. A bunch of extra hair is good for the winter months, and the ratty hair and beard go with my ratty teeth. It’s definitely weird, but I don’t know if it’s awesome or awful. I feel the same way about my life. The…

I Deserve to be Heard
I saw my counselor today. I told him about the state of my life, about my relationship with Stephanie now that there is zero chance to save the marriage, about what a least restrictive environment looks like for the boys and why I still think it’s with me, and about my engagement with The Church,…
