  • Sunday Afternoon Beer

    It’s 2:30 and I’m already almost finished with my second beer. On the one hand this is Wisconsin and we are the drunkest state in the nation. I am a lightweight compared to most of the guys my age. On the other… sanctification… I am not treating my body like a temple and I’m nowhere…

  • Playing with the Cat

    What is your favorite form of physical exercise? Our cat and I both eat a little too much and are a little less active than we need to be. She has a mouse on a string that is connected to a rod on the other end. I just ran all over the downstairs waving the…

  • Just a little purge…

    I was not getting any return on my investment for my art from my Facebook pages or Twitter. I have deactivated all of them. If you are one of the very few people who even knew where they were on the Internet you can still find me here on WordPress. There are live links on…

  • Not Going to the Moon

    How much would you pay to go to the moon? I have a serious aversion to confined spaces. I would not want to go to the moon for the exact same reasons I would not want to go to prison. If I had to do it I suspect I would, but I would never pay…

  • D&C 89:9

    Today has gone smoothly so far but I’ve already had too much sugar and caffeine. That did not stop me from letting my wife order a cold brew horchata for me. I have never read the exegesis about Doctrine & Covenants 89:9 which specifically forbids “hot drinks.” I’m not really inclined to do so. That…

  • A Career Path

    What alternative career paths have you considered or are interested in? I don’t think I have a career path and never have. I’ve had jobs and a lot of them have been customer service. Is that a career? I don’t know. Walgreens feels like a vehicle I’m riding in and not a final destination. Caregiving…

  • Sausages

    It is two o’clock in the morning here. I woke up after three hours of dreamless sleep. Now I’m not tired. I have Pharmacy today so I need to go back to bed. I already took an extra Trazadone to get to sleep the first time so that’s our. It’s too early in the morning…

  • Original Version

    I am reading the original version of the Book of Mormon. I just finished the first chapter today. It has been reproduced faithfully right down to the typographical errors. I was challenged by a former member and missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints with his complaint that the Book of Mormon…

  • Hating is Natural

    I occasionally encounter the saying that “We are taught to hate.” I disagree with both the sentiment and the logic. Human beings are hardwired to be tribal creatures. We have to work and be taught to accept others that are not like us. Love is a learned behavior not hate. Hate is an aspect of…

  • Magic Pancakes

    What food would you say is your specialty? When the children were all young, they and my wife were eligible (all at once) for WIC. That is the Women, Infant, and Children food program. We got, among other things, 18 eggs every week. That was way more than we could eat fried or scrambled. Since…
