    I am running the battery of my phone to zero. I have been assured that this is good for both the life of the phone and the life of the battery. I however have to be careful how I do this as early in the night as it is. You see, and I’ve probably told…

  • Walking to the Store

    My youngest was very specific in his requests today. He wanted a bath and a walk to the convenience store down the street. The trip is kind of expensive so we can’t do it every day. But we did it today. If you’ve been following for very long you know that we live in Wisconsin.…

  • Work from Home

    Because Stephanie and I work from home things can and often do go smoothly without us going anywhere. This is very helpful with her being perpetually sick and me not driving. Taking care of our autistic boys has all our eggs in one basket though. Our middle child did so well on his last evaluation…

  • Laundry Overload

    Stephanie and I have been putting off laundry. I mean like we have really been putting it off. The procrastination is real. Virtually all the clothes in the house are dirty. We are trying to rectify that situation currently but I don’t like the way she does laundry and she doesn’t like the way I…

  • Long Friggin Day

    I woke up very early this morning, but I’m in a good mood because I also had a lot of coffee and two micro doses of THC. I am caffeinated and mellow and posting here is the last daily habit to check off. The morning started slowly. Magic jumped into my lap, purred, and groomed…

  • Beyond Good an Evil

    I am contemplating the nature of God and the type of god that I am willing to worship. I would like to be a good person worshipping a good god. But human beings are complex and that complexity comes from a divine nature that is a combination of good and evil. But I suspect that…

  • Autism can be Violent

    Most days I like the idea of having more kids. Today is not one of those days. I used to tell them, “No blood, no bruises? Drive on!” This week there have been blood and bruises. My kids are not inherently violent but they are also not inherently good at regulating themselves so that they…

  • Falling Soda Cans

    It has been a hard day for everyone in my family. But decisions have been made and it’s affecting everyone around those decisions. So I’m a little edgy today. But this post isn’t about our big problems, it is about a very specific small one. I have been able to successfully ration soda for the…

  • The New Puritans

    A lot has been said about the concept of woke. It is nebulous enough that those who oppose it and those who embrace it have different assessments of what it actually means to be woke. To me it seems like a new puritanism. Woke things are looked through the lenses of critical race and gender…

  • Free Markets and Losers

    Stephanie and I are arguing about capitalism again. We are both bad at making and saving money. She doesn’t see that as a problem while I do. And she keeps saying I argue that “Capitalism is true.” I think it’s a strawman. My argument is that capitalism is effective in producing things that I desire,…
