The Soda Fairy
Our autistic son Ben doesn’t know where we hide the soda. This is a good thing because he’ll drink a whole 12 pack in a few hours if he gets the chance. Then I have to clean up the puke. So the soda is hidden. We’ve been telling him that the soda fairy brings him…

Middle Class
As I’ve written before a very long time ago a well meaning professor told the class I was in that a bachelors degree was a guaranteed position in the middle class for the rest of our lives. That to my ears was a tremendously crappy promise. Middle income earners in the US do most of…

Mobile Ads
The two games I’ve put on my phone so far are very ad heavy, so I’ve been watching a whole lot of mobile ads to get bonuses. I like to mute them because they are far less annoying to look at than to hear. I have also found myself playing a little game called: Is…

I am hot
There are very few days that I wish we had a working air-conditioner. Today is one of those days. I drink too much Gatorade because I enjoy it. Most days I don’t actually need it though. Today I actually need it. So I sit next to the fan in the minimum amount of clothes needed…

New Phone
I got a new phone yesterday and gave my old phone to my son who had been taking it whenever I played audio. It works great and has a lot more memory. I put a game called Bud Farm: Idle Tycoon on it. It is the first mobile game I’ve had in almost a year.…

Late Father’s Day
Today my son William took me out to lunch at a place called Whiskey Ranch. He doesn’t approve of alcohol so he was a little hesitant to try the restaurant. I assured him that he did not have to have any whiskey. Neither one of us drive, but the restaurant is in between my house…

No, All Men are not Created Equal
The Declaration of Independence is wrong. People don’t start out equal. Some have great advantages and some have great challenges. Some put great effort into enriching the world. Others squander their time and talents big and small. There are only two ways that I can imagine equality among humans. The first is infinite worth. But…

Tired
It was a long weekend. Our youngest has been loud, angry, and aggressive since Friday when we told him he couldn’t have DoorDash. He screamed for hours because he doesn’t understand our finances at all and doesn’t care why he can’t get what he wants. Stephanie ended up taking him to Urgent Care, and he…
