  • Laundry not Church

    My ride to church cancelled last night. I usually take that as a sign from God that I’m needed more at home for the day. I would have liked to have slept in but my youngest wanted a bath in the wee hours of the morning. So I got up and put him in the…

  • Crawling Brain

    I have mainly been doing my art in two formats lately. I have an app on my phone called SketchPad and a program on my computer called GIMP2. Today I tried to draw a walnut on my phone. It needed something, so I gave it legs and a little trail behind it. It still needed…

  • A Beep, A Buzz

    A BeepTo get my attentionA buzzTo set me in motion Too many unnatural soundsMoving me through the day. A squealTo make me wonderA cryThat calls me to action Noises through the houseTelling me what to do. A crash, a pop, a thumpLaughter in another roomAnd trickling through my brain I want to be heard;So, I…

  • Radically and Phenomenally Better

    I am having an argument as I sometimes do with a friend who mourns the loss of what he considers a more civilized world. He thinks that 800 years ago was a better, more moral, more sensible place. But I am convinced he is completely wrong. I suffer from food insecurity but my children have…

  • The Crack Before Dawn

    It’s too early in the morning for me to be awake once again. It’s that Saturday morning energy. My work week starts tomorrow so I should have time to recalibrate today. Hopefully I’ll be appropriately awake for that. I have an Elders Quorum Presidency zoom meeting in 13 hours. I’ll have to stay alert until…

  • Arizona Rx Energy

    It’s my day off from Walgreens, so I really don’t need a lot of caffeine and sugar. But who am I kidding, I need to cut back on those every day. I’m having a second Rx Energy anyway this morning. Each one is 114% of my US Recommended Daily Allowance for sugar. That’ll put me…

  • Owning Land

    One of the reasons that so many of us play video games is that we can do things we can only dream about in real life. The joke on the internet is that they are the only place where “You awake feeling well rested.” I also get fairly rich in the games that I play.…

  • Up And At ‘Em

    (A Modern Horror Story) A monster rises in the skyIt is a giant flaming eyeAll things hidden are revealedEvery sleepy dirty fieldIt demands that we must riseFrom our beds with bleary eyesStretching from our comfy coilFrom our banished dreams to toil The sun is upThere’s work to doBright and blightWe can’t eschew Some say they…

  • Weird

    I like to think I’m weird. I’ve certainly exposed myself to a broader scope of ideas than is typical in our culture. But even my weirdness seems commercial most of the time. For instance I grew up with “Weird” Al Yankovic. It has been described and I identify with the description as “music to keep…

  • Easter ’23

    One of my boys was reciting Veggie Tales at four this morning. He kept shouting “Have we got a show for you.” He is almost completely non-verbal, so I didn’t try to stop him. But I was not able to get back to sleep. I did a little art. Played some video games and checked…
