Wealth Inequality
Political Rant (you have been warned): Last week the stock market lost something like a trillion dollars in value. Many rich people who are usually preaching to me about the gap between the rich and the poor were clutching their pearls because the gap narrowed and it happened to be their wealth that was more…

Turning the Car Around
I sometimes joke that Gen X should turn everyone’s internet off for a week and make the world survive like we are in the 80s again. I remember being in the backseat of my parents car and going somewhere we really wanted to go. If we acted up my parents would threaten to turn the…

Spring Cleaning 25
I went through some boxes that were on my dresser. There was a lot of garbage in them. There were a few things that needed to be kept where I have access to them. And then there were a few things that needed to go into the basement. While I was putting them away down…

Mice and Ants
We occasionally get a mouse in the house. They don’t last long though. Magic will kill them and apparently so will Ether. Stephanie described how the other day Ether was “playing” with a mouse.

How’s it going?
I’m having a good day. I got both boys off with their service providers. I got a little “quiet time” while the house was empty except for Stephanie sleeping. The cats have been decent to each other though Magic has hissed at Cosmos and Ether. And then my friend Danny brought beer. So I’m a…

Chuang Tzu Comic
More than half a lifetime ago I was a student at a very expensive liberal arts college called Reed. I was not a good student. The college is in Portland Oregon and the city was beautiful at the time. I could wander freely because I was also in the military and looked more dangerous than…
