  • No Retirement

    How do you want to retire? I want to be doing something useful for the rest of my life. Retiring and doing nothing for years until I die sounds awful. I hope I can always be engaged in meaningful work.

  • Bodily Autonomy

    What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily? I own my body. I have used it all my life. Not a day has gone by without me using it one way or the other. Nothing else even comes close to how much I use my body. And I assure you that nobody…

  • Moving Fingers Writing

    On of my favorite stanzas in poetry is:“The moving finger writes and having writMoves on nor all your piety and witCan lure it back to cancel half a lineNor all your tears wash out a word of it.”(Fitzgerald’s translation from Omar Khayyam’s Rubaiyat) This caused an argument with Stephanie. You see she’s among other things…

  • No Vacancy

    Describe one of your favorite moments. When my wife and I were first married I had a night audit job for the local Microtel. One very busy night when we were full I got a very angry customer. He was angry because we were full and didn’t have a “No Vacancy” sign. He was about…

  • Notable Events (Follow-Up)

    I went to sleep. That’s not notable. Help get my son to his day program. Also Unnotable. Played some mobile games. Typical. I haven’t had my coffee yet. The horror. I watched the cat play with a live mouse. That’s a little out of the ordinary, Let me know if you think any of that…

  • Four Minutes

    What notable things happened today? It is four minutes after midnight. I post at the very beginning of the day so I can get more views on my prompt answer. Nothing notable has happened in that four minutes.

  • The Passions of Mark

    What are you passionate about? First and foremost I am passionate about my wife. She is one of the few people that knows me well enough to decide whether or not I’m actually worth the trouble. She consistently decides I am and I love her for that. Second I am passionate about my digital art.…

  • Springtime in Wisconsin

    What is your favorite season of year? Why? After a long painfully cold and isolating winter I truly appreciate the beginning of spring. The sun is shining more. Everything is coming back to life. My favorite weather is 70 degrees fahrenheit and overcast. That’s spring weather here. Those days remind me of my year in…

  • What is luxury?

    I have modern conveniences which I would not want to live without. Our house has electricity, plumbing, refrigeration, and a furnace for the winter. We have a working router and modem that provides the house with Wi-Fi. Two hundred years ago people could not have dreamed of the “luxury” surrounding my life. Places in the…
