How’s the Sickie?
The Princess Bride starts with Peter Falk walking into his grandson’s room and asking: How’s the Sickie? Today I have been sick and I don’t like it. I’ve gotten some extra sleep but I still feel like my butt has been kicked. I don’t know if I picked it up on my trip this weekend,…

Let Them Govern Themselves
I talked with another person today about Joseph Smith Jr saying that we should teach people correct principles and let them govern themselves. The saying is generally well received because most people believe that they have correct principles and want to govern themselves. The problem of course is that people don’t agree which principles are…

Accents
I occasionally hear people complain about English spoken with foreign accents. I am usually fairly forgiving of people who know my language better than I know theirs.

Am I Helping?
My homeless friend came again today. He got his replacement ID. I didn’t look but it probably still has my address on it. We talked and he, Ben, and I listened to Weird Al. While the song foil was playing he talked about someone who he was sure knew everything about the Illuminati. He said…

I got up when I’m supposed to and did all the work I regularly do. I had some fun today and several intellectually stimulating conversations. Maybe it…

Banana Peel Strips and Cucumbers
Alex likes bananas. He took a whole bunch of them to his room. They are a good part of his diet. There are however two issues that I have with them. The first is that he leaves a pile of banana peel strips when he is done and gets mad at me for telling him…

Catalog
We got a catalog of warehouse supplies today. Stephanie had no use for it so she put it with my stuff. I looked through it and there were at least a few things I might conceivably use. So I decided to keep it. However as I’ve mentioned before our son Alex is a book thief.…
