  • Laryngitis

    Today my throat hurts. It’s tight and it’s achy. It’s hard to talk and even harder to eat. So I’m typing out my thoughts. I don’t get sick very often. I’ve gotten as much sleep as I can for now. I’ll power through this one. There’s always work to do, and Stephanie is always sicker…

  • Art Career

    I was talking about my art with my oldest son. I lamented that it is not a career. You see I buy more of my own art than everyone else combined. I have an art hobby not an art career. Obviously if I was only doing it to make money I wouldn’t spend as much…

  • The Day After Easter

    Reverse Lent is over. Will I live a cleaner more holy life for Jesus or is this just like the New Year’s Resolutions people make and break three days later. I’ve already decided that I’m not actually going to give up beer. I haven’t had THC in weeks hopefully I can stay away from that.…

  • 12 minutes into Easter

    It’s Easter. In Jerusalem it’s probably already morning and the tomb is empty. It’s a little after midnight here. A long time and a long way off from the resurrection of Jesus Christ. My brain is mush. Held together with very modern psych meds. Jesus isn’t going to change that. I wonder if his going…

  • Hiding in the Basement

    We leave the basement door open at night so the cats can get in and out. Our youngest son doesn’t like it when the cats are in the basement and doesn’t like the basement door open. There is a crawl space just inside the door where the cats sometimes retreat. Our son woke up and…

  • Wealth Inequality

    Political Rant (you have been warned): Last week the stock market lost something like a trillion dollars in value. Many rich people who are usually preaching to me about the gap between the rich and the poor were clutching their pearls because the gap narrowed and it happened to be their wealth that was more…

  • Maundy Thursday

    I think today is called Maundy Thursday. I have never known why that is. Latter Day Saints don’t have any special services during Easter week. And I haven’t been to Sunday services in a year for that matter. But I woke up too early and am thinking about life. Reverse Lent is almost over. I…

  • Turning the Car Around

    I sometimes joke that Gen X should turn everyone’s internet off for a week and make the world survive like we are in the 80s again. I remember being in the backseat of my parents car and going somewhere we really wanted to go. If we acted up my parents would threaten to turn the…

  • Spring Cleaning 25

    I went through some boxes that were on my dresser. There was a lot of garbage in them. There were a few things that needed to be kept where I have access to them. And then there were a few things that needed to go into the basement. While I was putting them away down…

  • Mice and Ants

    We occasionally get a mouse in the house. They don’t last long though. Magic will kill them and apparently so will Ether. Stephanie described how the other day Ether was “playing” with a mouse. It was alive and he was tossing it into the air and catching it. I’m not particularly worried about mice though…
