I Am Doing
With the divorce looming I am regularly asked how I’m doing. Materially I’m in good shape. Stephanie and I agreed that since I’d be staying in the house with our disabled children and she would not that I would get the bulk of the caregiving hours. I can afford everything we need and have modest…

Together
95% of the time if I ask Ben if he wants to watch a movie he will sing his little “nooo…” I usually leave him alone if he does. Sometimes on the other hand I turn on one of his movies for me with the near certainty that he will watch it with me. He…

Lessons from Dandelions
The first talk in Sacrament today was comparing dandelions to people in our walk with Christ. Apparently dandelions are heliotropic. They follow the sun up in the sky through the day.

Wisconsin has an open primary so I can vote in the primary of any one party. The ballot had Republican, Democrat, Constitution, Libertarian, and Green choices.…

I like Grok
I have been exploring the utility of large language models (LLMs) for some time now. I generally prefer them to simple search engine queries. I can put a question with a large number of keywords in it, and the AI will assess which ones are most relevant and which combinations come closest to answering my…

The Least Restrictive Environment
For people with disabilities one of the most important considerations after self direction is providing them with the least restrictive environment. Up until very recently when Stephanie moved into a motel everyone was in agreement that the least restrictive environment for Alex and Ben is in the house that we are buying for them and…
