  • Cleaning House

    Stephanie is at Urgent Care, Alex is at his day program, Ben got what we have and has been half asleep on the couch all day. Cosmos also appears to be sick. Magic is her usual laconic self. And while I can’t do anything for anybody I’ve been cleaning house. If you are the praying…

  • Sick: Day Two

    I’ve definitely got the flu. I’m stuffed up. I don’t want to eat. I have kept a whole wheat hot dog bun down. Lots of liquids. Having trouble resting. Migraine meds. Naproxen PM. My mouth feels worse than it usually does. Water and carrot juice taste metallic. Gatorade doesn’t however taste any different. There’s snow…

  • I’m sick.

    The working theory is that Stephanie and I picked up a stomach flu. I feel like I’ve been hit by a train. I slept on and off for nearly twenty hours. It has not been an awesome day.

  • Corporate Consultant

    I could probably be a corporate consultant but my heart would never be in it. Not weird and awesome enough.

  • Family Shopping Trip

    Stephanie, our two youngest sons, and I took a trip to Target. I like these trips. They get us all out of the house. They get the boys out into the community. And they put our family in context locally. Well, maybe not the last one. I’d be surprised if anyone remembers us going to…

  • First Amendment Football

    I had a dream that I was working with a football team. The coach didn’t want me there. He told me my weird ideas weren’t welcome on his field. I warned him that it was against my First Amendment rights to deny me a position in a government program because of my unrelated activism. I…

  • 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…
