    Favorite time of day… If I don’t have pharmacy it’s about two in the afternoon because that’s when I get to decide if I’m going to do anything other than keeping my sons alive. If I do have pharmacy then it’s about 9 at night which is when I can break my fast.

  • 16 October 1989

    It’s a little after 1:00am and I can’t sleep. It’s my fault really because I drank a Barqs rootbeer at 5:00 in the afternoon. So what damn caffeinated thoughts are racing through my head? Of course it would have to be the first time I was tormented by prophecy. It was the summer of 1982.…

  • Laundry Day Sorta

    I am out of clean uniforms so they are in the wash. Unfortunately our dryer isn’t working properly. The service people have been out several times for the issue so another house call will probably be little or no charge. But it’s an inconvenience to have to tumble a load of close three times as…

  • Magic Pancakes

    What’s your favorite recipe? Many years ago when my children were young and we were much poorer than we are now the rest of the family was eligible for the federal Women Infants and Children program. At the time it dispensed certificates to purchase certain food items at no cost. They were eligible for about…

  • Not Today Satan

    Tell us about the last thing you got excited about. This is a family friendly site the last time I checked. I cannot in good conscience answer that question publicly. 26 August 2023

  • Writers Block

    I have made it a habit for the past six months to post a little about my life here at least once a day. Today is quiet. I don’t have to go out. I don’t have much to write about. Still I feel I need to say something. To leave the world with a pithy…

  • Walkable Cities

    How would you design the city of the future? I went to the University of Milwaukee. It’s built straight up. The whole campus is about 8 city blocks. There was enough commerce in the area to entertain a host of college kids. I don’t need a whole city to be that tight but it would…

  • Getting Dressed

    They say you should dress for the job you want. I haven’t found a way to make a million dollars a year without getting out of my pajamas. Of course I’m not making that by getting dressed and going to Walgreens either so the incentive isn’t great. I have a habit tracking app and one…

  • Love not Logic

    As I’ve mentioned before I am looking for a divinity that I can feel. A divinity that goes beyond mere words. We think about God and inevitably we end up fighting about God. And when words aren’t strong enough weapons it turns to bloodshed. I don’t want to worship a god that is in collusion…

  • My Name is Boring

    Where did your name come from? Mark – after the Gospel writer Mark Frederick – after King Frederick the Great Crist – someone in Germany farther back than anyone has done my genealogy literally took on the name of Christ (the “h” was dropped after my forefathers immigrated to the Americas)
