    I have a long time acquaintance. She has kids with one of my buddies from high school. He is in a bad way right now so she and I sometimes chat on Meta Messenger. We were talking about my doubts that there is a loving God and my belief that people are generally bad unless…

  • Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

    I’m 55 years old and I’m still not good at making grilled cheese sandwiches. I grilled three today, but the heat was too high. They burned before the cheese melted. Stephanie assured me that it was just because I am out of practice. I still feel a little disappointed in myself. I ate them anyway.

  • The World is not Ending

    This is not a sexy post. Repent of your sins for the world is ending. That’s sexy. That sells. We have five years before the climate kills us all. Sexy. Donald Trump is the end of democracy. Sexy and it sells. But like the threat of mass starvation, and acid rain, and (my favorite) the…

  • How’s it going?

    I’m having a good day. I got both boys off with their service providers. I got a little “quiet time” while the house was empty except for Stephanie sleeping. The cats have been decent to each other though Magic has hissed at Cosmos and Ether. And then my friend Danny brought beer. So I’m a…

  • Chuang Tzu Comic

    More than half a lifetime ago I was a student at a very expensive liberal arts college called Reed. I was not a good student. The college is in Portland Oregon and the city was beautiful at the time. I could wander freely because I was also in the military and looked more dangerous than…

  • Joining Conference

    I woke up in time to turn on General Conference. A few minutes into it Ben sat on my head behind me. I went to get a chair for him and when I came back he had taken my chair so I sat next to him in the one I had just gotten. It was…

  • General Conference A25

    Today and tomorrow The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is holding its semiannual General Conference. I listened to the first two hour block in my pajamas this morning. But I brought a spirit of contention and sloth. I don’t remember much from it and it only finished an hour and a half…

  • Sedentary Life

    I am sitting in an easy chair drinking beer. I still have my clothes on but not my shoes. If anyone were to invade my home I probably wouldn’t stand much of a chance, but I keep repeating to myself that if God constrains me to kill someone He will provide a way. I’m not…
