  • So Darn Sleepy

    I’m laying on the couch looking up at my screen and wondering why I am extra tired. Mind you I’m always tired. But today has been especially tiring. I got up when I’m supposed to and did all the work I regularly do. I had some fun today and several intellectually stimulating conversations. Maybe it…

  • Banana Peel Strips and Cucumbers

    Alex likes bananas. He took a whole bunch of them to his room. They are a good part of his diet. There are however two issues that I have with them. The first is that he leaves a pile of banana peel strips when he is done and gets mad at me for telling him…

  • Catalog

    We got a catalog of warehouse supplies today. Stephanie had no use for it so she put it with my stuff. I looked through it and there were at least a few things I might conceivably use. So I decided to keep it. However as I’ve mentioned before our son Alex is a book thief.…

  • Admitting I’m Wrong

    I have trouble admitting I’m wrong. My solution to that is often not to take a position at all. “Both sides make good points.” But I’m coming to the conclusion that not taking a position might be more wrong than taking the wrong position. At least with the latter there is hope for correction. As…

  • Calling Myself a Mormon

    I have been called a Christian several times in the past few days. I usually don’t argue about that because I am at the very least a “cultural Christian.” If I’m arguing with an atheist it’s not worth the trouble to correct him that I’m a Mormon not a Christian. But I make the distinction…

  • Mellow and Beautiful pg:2

    I had a good day. I got out of bed when I say I do. That’s always a good start. Ben wanted a diaper, a bath, and for me to talk to the soda fairy. He also wanted to go to the convenience store so I took both him and Alex. The soda hadn’t been…

  • Mellow and Beautiful

    I waited until after everyone was in before I got mellow and put on my headset to play Morrowind. It is somewhat harder in this condition but far more beautiful. I flew around Tel Vos trying to find the wizard’s chambers. If you’ve never been there, it is a combination of imperial castle walls and…

  • Rosemary Olive Oil

    Lately when I am in the easy chair Ether has been climbing into my lap. He’s scabby and mangy at this point because he has been violently grooming himself. He likes to do that in my lap, so I decided I would see if I could help him. We have an old bottle of rosemary…

  • Read a Book

    A few days ago I replaced the charging cords on Alex’s Kindles. Since then he has not touched either one. I disrupted his routine and now the routine seems to be gone. He doesn’t really know what to do with himself so he’s been wandering the house more. That is probably better for him than…

  • Becoming an Optimist

    For most of my life I have been intentionally pessimistic. Bad things can happen and bad things do happen. But when I thought of a bad thing first I was either more prepared when it did happen or pleasantly surprised when it didn’t. Life has been pretty good lately and I’m inclined to believe it…
