  • Go For A Walk?

    I used to like long walks. So much so that I would occasionally take them in the night in the rain. Part of that was out of necessity. I have never had a driver’s license. I know I’d get someone killed. The sidewalks are safer when I’m on them without a car. But over the…

  • Rearranging Hours

    Stephanie and I are talking about changing how we bill for the boys to more accurately reflect what she and I actually do for them. I am hesitant because it would make the extra responsibility I am already taking official. I talked about the senate in my mind debating the issue. Like our very real…

  • Listening to Hymns

    One of my daily habits is to listen to at least two hymns. Today I listened to “Have I done any good in the world today?”, “If you could hie to Kolob”, and “Come, come ye Saints.” The beginning of the last verse of the last song goes, “And if we die before our journey’s…

  • Sanctify Our Lives

    This morning after I ate and had an energy drink I read the first surah of the Quran, the first chapter of the Tao TE Ching, and my favorite verses from the Bhagavad Gita. They fit together remarkably well at least in my head. The Book of Mormon has a verse that says “We have…

  • Placebo Pessimism

    Human beings are incredibly good at believing that there are patterns in the chaos where none actually or naturally exist. Once we are convinced that there is a pattern in what we are seeing we tend to look only at the evidence that confirms that belief. This is true in religion, science, education, and among…

  • Sleepy Warm Kitty

    I have a sleepy warm kitty cuddling in my lap. I should probably be doing laundry but Magic says otherwise. Who am I to argue with her logic.

  • First Generation Gamer

    I played some of the very first commercial video game when they came out. Adventure for the Atari was fun and challenging for an eight year old. I never beat Zork. I’m nostalgic for my Commodore 64 sometimes. I had a D&D game called Pool of Radiance. Somehow I think I missed Rouge, but beat…

  • Exhaustion

    I slept most of the day and I’m still tired. My bedtime isn’t for hours, but I think I’m going to have to get more sleep. Maybe I can dream that I am weird and awesome, since going to bed early is neither. Have a great night and a radically, phenomenally, and fundamentally amazing week.

  • A Persuasive Spirit

    “For verily, verily I say unto you, he that hath the spirit of contention is not of me, but is of the devil, who is the father of contention, and he stirreth up the hearts of men to contend with anger, one with another.”3 Nephi 11:29 Book of Mormon ‘”No power or influence can or ought to be maintained by…
