Infinity to Eternity
When you first learned about infinity you probably started with the idea that natural numbers are infinite and that given an eternity one could count forever. But that opens a whole bucket of philosophical slop. Most people I know believe that the universe had a beginning and that absolutely nothing existed in the eternal past.…

The Last Drop of Water
About a year ago Ben and I had a fight because he put half a bottle of water into his water bottle because that was all that was left in the gallon jug. He tried to pour the half bottle down the drain and I tried to stop him. So he doesn’t like it when…

Evening Hymns
I had already listened to my daily hymns when Ben asked for pills and soda simultaneously. As I’ve said here before he cannot have both at the same time. Caffeine and Benadryl tend to cancel each other out in his body. So I made him use expressive language to choose between the two. He wanted…

Turds
Ben usually gets a bath when he wants one. He sat on the toilet before he got in his bath tonight. A storm rolled in and Stephanie suggested that he sounded distressed because of it even though he was in the bath. I checked and he was sitting sideways in the tub with his legs…

I read a story about a high school girl whose parents sent her to school each day with a good sized balanced and healthy lunch. The story goes that she ended up with scurvy because she would trade all of her good food for deserts. Maybe it’s a myth. But I was able to get…

Nap
We went out for errands that I needed to do myself. When we came home Stephanie’s mother was in the house visiting from Iowa. I crashed. I fell asleep for about six hours. I’m more awake now but I took my night meds and hope to go back to sleep after I eat. The house…

My bed? Really it is.
Today I was sitting at my computer and Alex wanted to be near me so he crawled into my bed which is directly behind my computer chair. Alex can change his wet diapers but needs reminders to do so. He was wet, and so my bed is too. I guess I’m doing laundry tomorrow. I…

Campy
Danny and I were arguing about what makes good fiction. I want it to be fictional. I like stuff that’s campy. I also like fantasy. Wizards, and magic, and out of this world creatures. He’s been trying to sell me on the Keith Ledger Joker for years. The character is gritty, realistic, and certifiably insane…
