Corporate Consultant
I could probably be a corporate consultant but my heart would never be in it. Not weird and awesome enough.

Family Shopping Trip
Stephanie, our two youngest sons, and I took a trip to Target. I like these trips. They get us all out of the house. They get the boys out into the community. And they put our family in context locally. Well, maybe not the last one. I’d be surprised if anyone remembers us going to…

First Amendment Football
I had a dream that I was working with a football team. The coach didn’t want me there. He told me my weird ideas weren’t welcome on his field. I warned him that it was against my First Amendment rights to deny me a position in a government program because of my unrelated activism. I…

Iced Latte no ice
Stephanie went to Dunkin Donuts to get coffee for the two of us. I usually get a hot latte, but today they said the machine was broken. They could somehow still make iced lattes, so my wife got me one of those instead. I am not a fan of ice in my drink. It makes…

The Hyperalert Crash
Lately I’ve been having trouble waking up on time. Years of being hyperalert because of the boys autism is really starting to catch up with me. This week has been worse than normal.

Know it all

Officer Commission
I’m thinking about my time in the Army Reserve when I first became an adult. I was never a good soldier. I didn’t qualify on my rifle and I didn’t pass the physical training tests. I had trouble keeping my head down and my mouth shut. When a drill sergeant yelled in my face, “Don’t…

I’d rather be a bad Mormon than a good Episcopalian.
If it’s a choice between unmerited grace and merited rewards I choose the latter.

Dungeons, Dragons, and Dreams
Yesterday I saw a video of a $20,000 Nosferatu sarcophagus. This morning I dreamed about a D&D quest to recover it. It started out with me searching for it with an army of goblins. We were crossing snowy mountains with steep slopes. The goblins all started sliding down in a valley which woke a frost…

Mormon and Me
As you are probably already aware I spend way too much time on Facebook. I really love looking at memes and occasionally make a few myself. There’s a page called Mormonr that posts quality Mormon themed memes. I got into an argument today over the use of the word: thy. If I use thy I’m…
