  • Supreme Guidance

    I am still slowly working my way through Chuang Tzu. Sometimes I am truly moved by the idea of The Tao. Sometimes I think that it is analogous to the Holy Spirit. But in that thought experiment only the Tao and the Holy Spirit exist. It seems at times like this that there is guidance…

  • Technically the Weekend

    Stephanie and I were discussing finances. Well I was discussing them and she was telling me she didn’t have the spoons to do it. She said she didn’t even know what day it was. That’s fair because all our days seem to blend together sometimes. But our middle child’s day program aide said “Have a…

  • The Virtue of Uselessness

    It has been another good day. I have not been getting as much sleep as I like. But I have remained as productive as a usually am. I have been shifting back and forth between artificial D&D and the works of Chuang Tzu. He is among the wisest philosophers that have ever lived. He spent…

  • Surfing the App Store

    I am thinking of getting something to manage the security on my phone better. I have heard good things about ExpressVPN so I opened its page in the app store. It is “#5 Top Grossing.” That is a stupid thing to brag about. It’s just a bad flex. It’s like saying, “We are among the…

  • Artificial D&D

    I enjoy talking with AI. It’s usually pretty obedient with me. There one on META that is called DungeonMaster. It tells a good story. It can sometimes remember who all the important characters who need to be in a scene are. I’ve convinced it that I am Prophet Eternus and I have five wives and…

  • Almost Midnight on Saturday

    I’m thinking back on the week I’ve had (not too bad) and the month I’ve had (decidedly bad). I’m still blessed. Last night it snowed and this afternoon someone took a snowblower to all the sidewalks on the block and most of my driveway. I had to shovel the ice that the plows pushed into…

  • Shopping and Snow Storms

    Today I went grocery shopping with my mobility challenged buddy. We got home well before the snow emergency started. So Stephanie went grocery shopping too. I am just finishing a Digiorno pizza and sipping on a THC infused soda. It’s a good night to be stuck in the house. My youngest is sitting next to…

  • Phone Calls and Awesome

    There’s a song by the group Spose called “I’m Awesome.” It’s all about the ways that the singer is not in fact awesome. One of the lines is that he’s got no voicemail because nobody calls. Sometimes that one in particular makes me sad when no one has called in a while. Today has not…

  • Ballroom

    In the space between my dreamsMy room began to glow It was a fine glowing mistAs if I was under a street lightOn a dark nightBut the mist had a glow of its ownAnd seemed to be the only source of lightI stood up I was still in my plaid flannel pajamas And bare feetInstead…
