Bottlecaps
I just started a beer. I had an insignificant amount of trouble opening the bottle cap. It got me thinking of the video game Fallout. It’s a post-apocalyptic world where bottlecaps have become the primary currency. I don’t know how hard they are to make in this world but in the world of Fallout they…

Work is Good
Work is good. Getting paid to work is even better. Being able to pay other people to work is even better than that. It’s not much of a philosophy, but Fuck Off, I do what I want. Stay Awesome, Stay Weird, or Stay Away!

The Ritual
Ben and I have a ritual that comes with bedtime. He says “Diaper, Clothes, Pills, and Light Off,” and I put him to bed. Today he said “Diaper, Soda, Pills and Light Off” instead. I just won’t give him soda and pills at the same time. I gave him a choice between the two in…

Comforters
In the winter I sleep with two comforters because the heat and the weight helps me sleep. Last night I was so hot and sweaty that I threw one of them on the floor and slept with just the remaining one. At one point or another the kids all used to sleep with actual weighted…

Ben and “my” Computer
I came downstairs and read along with the audio of 2 Nephi 2. After I finished it in English I decided to reread it in Spanish. Because I’ve been playing the French in Colonization I decided to see if French audio of the Book of Mormon was available. It is, so I read along with…

Worth and Worthiness

Some people are smarter than me, some people are more creative, some people are more generous, and some people have more influence. Those aren’t the…

Tea and Video Games
I haven’t eaten much today. I’ve been zoning out on video games and sipping tea most of the day. I did take a shower this afternoon and the boys have gotten what they’ve needed. I also do better at leaving Stephanie alone when I’m lost in a digital world. But I don’t feel very productive.…

Deep Breaths
I’m taking deep breaths while Ben screams and Stephanie hides in her room with the cats. I am doing a good job remaining calm if I don’t say so myself. Ben is not calming down so he’s had emergency meds. He wants a soda. He has to be calm first. Sadly calm sometimes just means…

Being Watched
It is my understanding that people behave better when they believe they are being watched. They don’t have to actually be watched for them to censor behavior that they wouldn’t do while being watched. This is why I am pro God whether there is a God or not. A person who puts his hand on…

Wrong 2
I got accused of black and white thinking today for saying some things are objectively wrong. Rape is wrong no matter how many people are doing it and how a society justifies it. Slavery is objectively wrong. While 99.99% of human history is full of slaves and it has been justified by most until very…
