  • 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. Spanish accents don’t bother me, neither do Mediterranean or Indian accents. Oddly enough though when it is obvious that English is a person’s first language and they pronounce…

  • 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…

  • Is Christianity Political?

    There is a strong strain of thought among my friends some of which disagree with each other vehemently that Jesus is on their side in political arguments. Jesus the socialists. Jesus the libertarian. Jesus the feminist. Republican Jesus. Democrat Jesus. That isn’t nearly an exhaustive list but I suspect you see my point. It is…

  • Visiting my Granddaughter

    Today my oldest son Brandon drove his mother and I (and his girlfriend) to Indiana to visit our granddaughter Nevaeh. It was a good visit but I hate being on the road so now I need to decompress. She’s a beautiful little lady and so much fun.

  • Cat House

    Stephanie got the cats a two story house. They all liked it until Ben started messing with them in it. It’s very light and he dumped Ether out of it. The two of them don’t have a healthy relationship. Ben grabbed him earlier and Ether put a gash in his hand. If Ben fights with…

  • So Darn Sleepy

    I’m laying on the couch looking up at my screen and wondering why I am extra tired. Mind you I’m always tired. But today has been especially tiring. 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.…
