  • Iced Latte no ice

    Stephanie went to Dunkin Donuts to get coffee for the two of us. I usually get a hot latte, but today they said the machine was broken. They could somehow still make iced lattes, so my wife got me one of those instead. I am not a fan of ice in my drink. It makes…

  • The Hyperalert Crash

    Lately I’ve been having trouble waking up on time. Years of being hyperalert because of the boys autism is really starting to catch up with me. This week has been worse than normal. I was late for the day program driver and barely had time to get dressed before the appointment with the boys’ nurse.…

  • Know it all

    “Declare if thou knowest it all” (Job 38:18b KJV) I did my scripture study today as usual. I chose Job 38 and listened to the King James Version and the Spanish recitation from whatever translation the LDS app uses. It hits someone like me hard. I’ve always been kind of a “know it all.” And…

  • Officer Commission

    I’m thinking about my time in the Army Reserve when I first became an adult. I was never a good soldier. I didn’t qualify on my rifle and I didn’t pass the physical training tests. I had trouble keeping my head down and my mouth shut. When a drill sergeant yelled in my face, “Don’t…

  • I’d rather be a bad Mormon than a good Episcopalian.

    If it’s a choice between unmerited grace and merited rewards I choose the latter.

  • Dungeons, Dragons, and Dreams

    Yesterday I saw a video of a $20,000 Nosferatu sarcophagus. This morning I dreamed about a D&D quest to recover it. It started out with me searching for it with an army of goblins. We were crossing snowy mountains with steep slopes. The goblins all started sliding down in a valley which woke a frost…

  • Mormon and Me

    As you are probably already aware I spend way too much time on Facebook. I really love looking at memes and occasionally make a few myself. There’s a page called Mormonr that posts quality Mormon themed memes. I got into an argument today over the use of the word: thy. If I use thy I’m…

  • Birthday Card

    I have a granddaughter, she lives two states away with her mom, and I don’t drive. I sent her a card and a letter. I only wrote as much as I usually do here, but if she wants I’ll write to her more often.

  • Tom Sawyer

    My youngest has my phone and is watching YouTube on it again. It just started playing Tom Sawyer by Rush. “And his mind is not for rentTo any god or government” My mind is rented out to the god of The Book of Mormon and to the preservation of The United State’s Constitution. That actually…

  • Plushies

    My youngest son has 20 or 30 stuffed and plastic animals that he keeps on his bed. Some of them are big and they cover almost the whole bed. He has so many plushies that he can’t sleep properly in the bed now. So… he fell asleep in my bed. I cleared his bed and…
