Magic
We have a cat. Her name is Magic. She’s taken on personality traits of everyone in the house. For instance the shelter she came from said she was a quiet cat. That lasted for a while but she eventually decided to compete with all the other sounds in the house. She is also as eccentric…

Swear Word
When I was a kid we had a general rule that I should not use words if I didn’t know what they meant and didn’t mean what I wanted to say. Most of the time swear words aren’t expressive language. For instance if someone says “Fuck her” they probably don’t actually want you to have…

Staring at my Phone
It’s Sunday morning and I already called off church yesterday. I look at my Moto G Pure and start to blog. The boy woke me up early today and I’m having a cup of coffee. The boy and the cat are vocalizing in the background. And my wife got up as I was trying to…

Marlowe, Raleigh, and Me
Come live with me and be my love,And we will all the pleasures prove,That Valleys, groves, hills, and fields,Woods, or steepy mountain yields. And we will sit upon the Rocks,Seeing the Shepherds feed their flocks,By shallow Rivers to whose fallsMelodious birds sing Madrigals. And I will make thee beds of RosesAnd a thousand fragrant posies,A…

Morning
I woke up early because a light bulb was out, and that’s not allowed in this house according to my youngest son. Before I had time to lay back down, he needed a diaper as well. So I changed his diaper, and I’ve got to be awake for that. So I stayed awake after that…

Arby’s
My wife and I have three adult children on the autism spectrum. Feeding everyone in the house is difficult at best. Our oldest likes things plain. If it’s got sauce or gravy on it he will complain about having to remove it and sometimes refuse to eat the the submerged food altogether. Our next son…

My Conversion Story
As an early adult I did a lot of soul searching. One day I was reading an Awake magazine while I was riding on a bus. A pair of Latter-Day Saint missionaries asked me if I liked to read. When I said I did, they asked if I would like to read The Book…

Dunkin Donuts (Reprise)
Today is not Fast and Testimony Sunday. Today I go in later for a short shift. So, today I got the Dunkin Donuts I was craving. I need more food discipline, but today is not the day for that. I need more financial discipline as well, but today we could afford donuts. It’s these little…

Morning
My favorite wizard asks “Is it a morning that is good or a morning to be good on?” So far I’ve been busy, but other than drawing my son a bath, that has mostly been with things of little importance. So the morning has been a good one for me so far, but I haven’t…
