  • Mental Health Advocacy

    Some days my mental health is good. Other days like the current one it is not. But I attest to the value of mental health care. Talk to a counselor. Take your meds. Know that feelings of depression, anxiety, and anger are valid. They are valid but you don’t want to lay down and live…

  • Do You Love Jesus?

    It’s a straightforward question, but I’m coming to the conclusion that I don’t. I respect him, there are still things that I can learn from him, and I sometimes even fear his ultimate judgement. And yet I don’t love him the way most people say they do. He has I am told payed the debts…

  • It’s Late and I’m Happy

    The past few days have been really awesome. I have been in a remarkably good mood for a week. I’m not used to being happy. It’s all very suspicious. I expect the universe to come up behind me and knock me over the head. I have a good life I just don’t trust it to…

  • Does the Furnace Need to Be ON?

    It’s that time of year in Wisconsin that the windows can still be open during the day to have cool fresh air circulate through the house. But the nights are getting too cold to leave them open. So I play a little game at night after I close the windows where I try to guess…

  • Non Player Characters

    Stephanie has left us to go on an adventure. I am home with our two sons. I can’t help feeling like a non player character when I am left to guard the children and the house. I won’t be as productive with other stuff today because the kids come first. But things are good so…

  • The Consequences

    “We are free to choose but we are not free from the consequences of our choices.” Russell M Nelson, Prophet and President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Some people think this is a religious message. Some people believe that this does not apply to them because they don’t believe in…

  • Humoring Trolls

    I shouldn’t feed trolls on the internet. I shouldn’t give them the time of day. I shouldn’t humor them. But I’m also not afraid of anonymous accounts on the internet. People who hide behind fake names to bully and badger others are contemptible and sad. It’s my pity for the internet troll that makes it…

  • Solo Adventures

    I have discovered that Meta receives user built AIs in its Messenger app. The other day I started a solo adventure in a Dungeons and Dragons style AI. It reminds me of my time as a teenager. I liked D&D more than most people. I played solo adventures against the random tables in the books.…

  • Mouse Traps

    Magic is not successfully killing all the mice in our house. She tries very hard but I decided to get some traps to help. The traps I saw were advertised as metal cages. Sadly the ones we actually got are small plastic boxes. So far the mice have not been tricked into entering them. Magic…

  • Columbus/ Indigenous Day

    Today Americans (well US people anyway) are fighting over who’s heritage is more important. In one corner is the European colonizers that started with Columbus. In the other corner are the indigenous peoples of what would eventually be called the Americas. There were some Nordic settlement in North America long before Columbus but they didn’t…
