  • Structure of Civilization

    I wish I better understood the structure of civilization. I like it here in the Wild West of that structure. I joke that Dodge Street was living on the edge of society in the center of town. I never realized how common that was until recently. In some ways I’m feeling like the edge of…

  • Chicken Fries

    I broke down today and spent money we will probably need later on DoorDash. We ordered Burger King. I got chicken fries for the first time. They were too chewy but I’m eating out of the corner of my mouth because of my bad front tooth. Food in the right shape is important and chicken…

  • Video Games and Drugs

    I am thinking about obsessive and addictive behavior today. As anyone who has been following me for very long knows I play an excessive amount of video games. I am much more moderate with my alcohol and THC use. But they fill a lot of the same functions in mental health /illness. They are an…

  • Different

    I am different from anyone else. That really isn’t saying much since every individual is unique. The question is whether I am more unique. I joked with my dad today that we were embarrassingly white. I remember a joke book that poked fun at WASPs (white Anglo Saxon Protestants). I didn’t realize that all those…

  • Snow in March

    We got six inches of heavy wet snow. Over the course of the day I’ve gotten all of our sidewalks scraped off and most of the driveway. I’ve got to get the rest of the driveway in the morning because I ran out of light. I took my pills a few minutes ago so I…

  • Baptized Mormon

    Today it has been 29 years since I was baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. That is the longest I have been officially affiliated with any organization in my life. It beats out the Episcopal Church by a little bit at this point. The next one I can think of…

  • Stephanie Yells

    Stephanie is yelling at me about genocide again. There’s nothing I can do about it if it’s actually happening. I’m uninformed. She’s yelling at me about that too. There are lies, damn lies, and statistics. She passed her statistics class. I didn’t. She reads way more than I ever will. Such is my lot in…

  • Video Calls

    I really need to make more of an effort to get onto serious video calls. Since I logged out of everything META, my life has been more peaceful. But there are also a few groups that META was my primary point of contact. The American Solidarity Party and its Wisconsin chapter, Secular Pro Life, and…

  • You Have 30 Seconds

    I have a love hate relationship with advertisements. I grew up in the 80s. I usually got about 10 minutes of show time for a minute and a half of ads. I know what I can do for a minute and a half while I’m ignoring ads playing. Today’s ads are very often voluntary in…

  • My Health Starts with Me

    I saw the nurse practitioner who prescribes my psych meds yesterday. No changes on that front, but she did order a blood draw. I walked to the hospital to get the work done today because Stephanie wasn’t up to driving and my health starts with me. It went smoothly but the results came back with…
