  • No New Snow

    Today has been a quiet day in the house. Stephanie allowed me to sleep in except for the times that Ben did not. My extended family is dealing with city crippling snow storms. Today it didn’t snow here. The gratitude is real.

  • Full Coverage Car Insurance

    Danny is talking to me about Full Coverage Car Insurance. It hurts my brain. Stay Awesome! Stay Weird! Or Stay Away!

  • Testing Positive

    I try to remain politically aware. I try to maintain a focus on life and liberty in my daily interaction. Stephanie thinks I’m making everything political nowadays. But of course that isn’t completely accurate. I am becoming very argumentative about religion as well. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt in both…

  • Soda and Chocolate Fairies

    We have soda and chocolate in the house. I’ve got Ben convinced it’s magic. But Stephanie and I are the soda and chocolate fairies. At some point I grew up. My homeless friend Raven stopped in this evening. He was covered with snow and drunk off his ass. I fed him because of Jesus or…

  • Memes and Me

    I spend a lot of time engaging with memes. I make a few here and there, but mostly I just reshare the ones I like. Sometimes I steal them for my personal collection. They are mostly politics, satire, and dark humor. Sometimes laughing at things is the best way I can deal with them. Once…

  • Pharisees

    I have the unpopular opinion that the Pharisees get a bad rap. There are things on which they were correct. It is better that one man die than for a nation to dwindle in unbelief. They were certainly as history shows mistaken to aim that at Jesus. But I think the principle is sound. It…

  • Easy Chair 26

    I have spent most of the time I have been awake today in my easy chair or going to or from it. I am still in last night’s jammies. And yet I have been relatively productive. I can do a lot from my phone: reading, writing, art, and most importantly checking up on family and…

  • If I Have Not Charity

    I have a daily goal to read at least one chapter from any book. Today I chose 1 Corinthians 13. I opened it in the LDS Gospel library and turned on the audio so I could listen while I read. Ben took my phone. I let him read along instead. I still have to read…

  • Fulfillment

    I am content at the moment. I am several beers into my night and just finished a really good hamburger. The house is warm, my laundry is done, and we are not expecting any more visitors today. I have a wife who loves me and children that need me. I am useful and that is…

  • Staring into the Void

    I spend to much time looking at screens. I’ve got a top notch personal computer, a decent cell phone, and a Fire TV. I’m thinking about all the empty white space on this webpage. I am staring into the void and wondering how to fill it. If you are here you probably stare into the…
