  • Hippie

    It’s been a long day. First for the record I need to say I hate “banker’s hours.” I went to a credit union at 3:30 to set up a new account. The only person there authorized to do that was in a meeting until four and wasn’t taking any customers after that. That stinks for…

  • Fighting

    Ether didn’t come in the house tonight until Stephanie called him. He’d been fighting so she rubbed beeswax in the tender areas. Ether likes to fight. I joked that I do too but neither one of us is any good at it. I need to continue to ask Jesus to take away my fighting disposition.…

  • Therapy

    I saw my counselor today. I told him above the divorce and that the only sincere apology I can make is changed behavior. Letting go and letting God. No more beer, no more THC, no more masturbation. I buried my weapons of war. She told me at some point this week that she hopes I…

  • Air Conditioning

    We got that air conditioner. It works as advertised. The house has been 78 degrees since we turned it on. I read somewhere that cognitive function declines when the body overheats. I told Stephanie that I was sorry for the things I said when I was too hot to know better. She did not appreciate…

  • Stay

    Why do I want her to stay? Stephanie says we are divorced and that the marriage we had is not worth fighting for. She asked me why I want her to stay. There are certainly selfish reasons. I appreciate her womanhood, but that’s objectifying. I appreciate her familiarity but that has been dying of late.…

  • The Illusion of Individuality

    Individuals have very little actual control over their environment. For instance we are getting a new air conditioner to go in our central service. I could not make and install an air conditioner myself. A lot of someone elses built it, several someone elses will install it, and someone other than that is paying for…

  • A Rainy Third

    Tomorrow is Independence Day in the US. People celebrate by blowing stuff up. It’s an American tradition. It’s rainy tonight so not many people are out with fireworks. The kid next door said his dad already set off all the good ones. There were some real doosies. The rain means tomorrow’s city celebration won’t be…

  • Hurt

    “I will let you down. I will make you hurt.” – Johnny Cash 100% is a tall order. Doing something 100% of the time is impossible without God. Not doing something 100% of the time is also impossible without God. If the standard is perfection which 100% is, then I will let you down and…

  • Letting God

    I am contemplating the idea of “Letting go and letting God.” My life is in turmoil. Those who are closest to me know the details so I will not continue to post them publicly. I am painfully aware that I am not in control of anyone else and I am surrendering even my own will…

  • Analog Backup

    I saw a trailer for a movie that was trying to be scary with a screen that said: Signal lost! I grew up in an analog world before anyone but the military worried about signal failure. But it got me wondering how much analog backup we currently have. This blog is a tiny digital footprint…
