Not so nice dreams
Many years ago before I realized that in order to succeed at college being smart wasn’t enough, I failed out several times. I could blame it on depression or maybe just laziness, but the fact is I didn’t do the work. I don’t think I’m ever going to be sufficiently motivated to get a degree.…

I’m Being Published
A while back I wrote a poem and submitted it for publication. The submission guide included a request for an author’s note about what motivated the piece. I just heard back today that the poem was rejected but that they want to publish the “essay” about it. So unexpected, weird, and awesome.

Hottest Night of the Year
There’s an Anne Murray song that goes, “You make the hottest night of the year a little bit hotter. Ain’t gonna be no cooling down… As long as we keep fooling round.” It’s definitely too hot to be fooling round. It’s hot and humid and reminds me of the summers I spent in Maryland. I…

So Far So Good
I got a decent night’s sleep. I got the boys dosed, fed and one of them out the door. I got some stock art approved. I’ve played my mobile games and am having some coffee. I’ve got to make a phone call today (yuck) and read some of Stephanie’s poetry (yay). It should continue to…

Her Day Off

Today is my day to work and to bill and her day to sleep. Theoretically anyway. We were…

Diet Pepsi
I have a friend who counts on me for some of her support. One of the things we do about once a month is go grocery shopping. She stocks up all at once. One of the things she gets is cases of Diet Pepsi. The cases with thirty six cans. Four cases usually. She’s a…

Today’s AriZona RxEnergy
I slept pretty well last night, but still want caffeine and sugar to wake completely up. So I’m sipping on an RxEnergy. It’s a guilty pleasure because it’s not a healthy breakfast. My youngest requested a bath so he’s soaking. His older brother is ready for his day program. And both of my sons on…

The Name of Christ
The LDS tradition has a peculiar concept. Members are encouraged to take on the name of Christ. This is largely metaphorical. No one is supposed to actually change their last name. But oddly enough one of my forefathers farther back than we have accurate genealogy literally took on the name of Christ. The LDS Church…
