  • Walk in the Park

    Ben and I went for a walk today. There is a park about a mile from the house so we walked there. As we were passing through it there were some teenagers on a bench and on the sidewalk. They moved out of the way a little and I went around. One of them asked…

  • Not Everything Got Done Today

    I’ve been playing and event in a mobile game all day. The good news is that I won. The better news is that we did not have any emergencies today. Of course the bad news as always is that I was not as productive as I needed to be. Alex’s room is horrific. I need…

  • Bed Bugs

    Our son William lives in an assisted living apartment building. Someone in the building got bed bugs. This person brought the bed bugs into the laundry room for the building. They closed the laundry room to have it sanitized. William thought he should use a laundromat. Stephanie and I suggested he use our washer and…

  • Not so Sola Scriptura

    Today I has been thinking about the Protestant concept that the Bible alone is the only source of divine truth. I was discussing it with a Catholic friend who rightly points out that the canon of the Bible we have comes from Catholicism and that the Catholic tradition is bigger than the Bible they gave…

  • Locked Up

    It’s Friday night and you know what that means? No one has to go anywhere tomorrow. Well maybe Stephanie will. But I can stay in the house with the children. All the cats are in the house as well though they will probably want to be outside tomorrow. And I have a goal to touch…

  • A Time To Be Alive

    It is an amazing time to be alive. Stephanie made teriyaki shrimp for dinner tonight. It was good but I craved a chocolate brownie. When I told her that she said “chocolate brownie donut.” I replied that what she really wanted was the double chocolate Entenmann’s donuts and that those would be acceptable for my…

  • Taking the Good with the Bad

    Today has been mostly good. I’m well loved and well fed. The technology that my life depends on remains intact. The refrigerator works, so does the house fan, and the internet. I was able to rip some CDs onto my computer. I haven’t had to change a light bulb. I still got screamed at a…

  • Easy Chair

    I’m sitting in my easy chair trying to think of something interesting to write about my day and finding very little that you don’t already know. We been under a heat advisory. Yay, the weather. Ben and I walked to the convenience store. He refused to let the clerk put his chocolate in a bag,…

  • Tomorrow

    We are just beginning to teach Ben the concept of waiting for tomorrow. Stephanie doesn’t want to reward his demands. I am more worried that the demands are for instant gratification. We had to tell him for hours that electricians don’t work at night and that he would have to wait until the next day…

  • The “i” in Christ

    Someone farther back than anyone has done my genealogy literally took on the name of Christ for the family. That decision many centuries ago has a pernicious effect on me. I am certainly a Crist but that doesn’t make me a Christian. The “i” in Christ gives me delusions of grandeur. I am the Mark…
