  • Lead Paint

    I was worried that the paint in the basement had lead in it, so we ordered swabs to check. They were inexpensive and the instructions were simple. You put the swab in vinegar and it turns yellow. You wipe the swabs on the paint for thirty seconds and if they turn purple then there’s lead.…

  • Out of Wedlock

    I saw a YouTube video about population collapse in Japan. The presenter compared statics between Japan and other industrial nations. The primary point he made is that in Japan out of wedlock births are almost unheard of and that in nations he compared with less pronounced population decline there are a high percentage of out…

  • Weary Day

    I’m tired but I’m also weary. Some days just sneak up on me and hit me over the head. Nothing particularly bad happened today mind you. I got out of the house, I spent some money, and no one got hurt. But Ether has been clingy and giving him attention drained me. Alex has been…

  • Windchimes

    My phone doesn’t like the word windchimes. The spell checker doesn’t think it’s a real word. Today I took a picture of our lilac bush which is just starting to bloom. I was sitting on the porch and our windchimes are in the shot. When I tried to share the image my text got flagged…

  • Pillaging the Chocolate Fairy

    As some of you know Stephanie and I have to ration the soda and chocolate from Ben. He has to request the fairies bring them to him and go to his room for us to talk to them. It’s supposed to be magical. Sadly he has uncovered the secret of the magic and pillaged the…

  • Productivity and Spoons

    I slept in because I’ve been staying up late playing a really good video game. It gives me spoons. When I have not been on the game today I have made sure all my chores got done. My last load of laundry is in the dryer. Cats have been fed and diapers have been changed.…

  • Fruit Punch

    I’ve been craving sugar. Stephanie gets me a highly sweetened fruit punch from the grocery store. Sadly Alex loves the stuff too and finished it off last night. We ordered fast food and I was supposed to get a milkshake but it was missing from the order. So I’m still craving sugar.

  • Taking a Walk

    I went for a walk today to look at the river. It was bright, cold, and windy. Surprisingly there were quite a few people out and I actually talked to other humans. I took some pictures of the high waters and made it home dry.

  • Public Speaking

    I could never be a public speaker. I drink too much and I pee too much. I have my greatest thoughts in front of the toilet. For instance today I thought, “I stand with the proclamation by Joseph Smith Jr. that ‘The Book of Mormon is the most correct of any book and a man…

  • Wrong

    Danny and I have a running argument about whether a person can be wrong. His stance is that everything is just an opinion and that there is no such thing as a wrong way to see things. I on the other hand am convinced that reality is cold and hard and that it will stab…
