  • Swimming at the Y

    We had a little extra money so Stephanie got a family membership to the YMCA. Ben loves swimming. We went as a family today. We all stayed in the water walking channel for half an hour. Then Stephanie and Ben went to the hot tub. Alex and I did more water walking. When he was…

  • Fireworks

    Independence Day (July 4th) is next week. The fireworks have begun. The local safety page says not to call the police if the noise keeps you awake or frightens the cats. But oddly enough if the cats start shooting back the police will get involved. It’s going to be a loud week. Independence Day is…

  • Cat Litter

    I’ve been putting off changing the litter in the three litter boxes. I did that today. I got all the way out to the garbage bin before one of the bags broke. I really need to be more proactive about this job. It gets grosser the longer I put it off. But it’s done for…

  • The Soda Fairy

    Our autistic son Ben doesn’t know where we hide the soda. This is a good thing because he’ll drink a whole 12 pack in a few hours if he gets the chance. Then I have to clean up the puke. So the soda is hidden. We’ve been telling him that the soda fairy brings him…

  • Middle Class

    As I’ve written before a very long time ago a well meaning professor told the class I was in that a bachelors degree was a guaranteed position in the middle class for the rest of our lives. That to my ears was a tremendously crappy promise. Middle income earners in the US do most of…

  • Mobile Ads

    The two games I’ve put on my phone so far are very ad heavy, so I’ve been watching a whole lot of mobile ads to get bonuses. I like to mute them because they are far less annoying to look at than to hear. I have also found myself playing a little game called: Is…

  • I am hot

    There are very few days that I wish we had a working air-conditioner. Today is one of those days. I drink too much Gatorade because I enjoy it. Most days I don’t actually need it though. Today I actually need it. So I sit next to the fan in the minimum amount of clothes needed…

  • New Phone

    I got a new phone yesterday and gave my old phone to my son who had been taking it whenever I played audio. It works great and has a lot more memory. I put a game called Bud Farm: Idle Tycoon on it. It is the first mobile game I’ve had in almost a year.…

  • Prove It

    I argue with strangers on the internet more than a rational man should. I make points that I believe are true or that I am at least fairly confident. I am often met by a hostile audience. And when I make a point I am often told that I must prove it. I can and…

  • “Make War Not Love”

    I’m wearing a novelty tshirt today that I earned from a website called Learn Liberty by promoting the site. It reads “Make Wealth Not War.” It is in part an homage to the first novelty tshirt I ever got. When I was a teenager I was reading a Mad Magazine and in one of the…
