He Lives in our Heads
I just told Stephanie to shut up about Donald Trump. He is living in both our heads. He’s just a bum. He’s not a god. He is not a demon. Presidents are supposed to go away. I really hope on January 20th, 2029 he goes away. Back to real estate. Maybe he’ll find Jesus. Jesus…

Baptized Mormon
Today it has been 29 years since I was baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. That is the longest I have been officially affiliated with any organization in my life. It beats out the Episcopal Church by a little bit at this point. The next one I can think of…
