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…

Tom Sawyer

Autism and the Internet
I have a pet peeve about poorly cropped and framed memes. The above meme took me about ten minutes to clean off the black and white lines all over it. This just looks much better than the original to me. You can still spot the places I’ve touched up if you had the original image,…

Garbage in the Lawn
I walked the property today. There was a lot more trash than usual. It was mostly wrappers and scrap paper but there was also a piece of shingle. That was a little worrisome. There’s no certainty that it came from our house. Hopefully it didn’t. The neighbors behind us had work done on the roof…

Weird Women
I want to be surrounded by women. But not supermodels and Hollywood actresses or the women who aspire to be those things. I want to be surrounded by weird women. Stephanie is a druid. That is always a good start. And she approves of my goal which is even better. With two disabled adult sons…
