Instant Gratification
When I was growing up I was warned that I should never count on instant gratification and that being instantly gratified was actually a bad thing. I was taught to wait and usually do something quiet while I was waiting. Oddly no one ever tried to get me to stop jerking off which I have…

Too Much Spam
When Stephanie moved out I had to start doing grocery shopping for the family. That hasn’t proved too problematic but I’m not gonna to lie that there has been something of a learning curve. I like Spam (the kind from Hormel – not electronic spam). I bought four cans in my first grocery order. I…

Sick in Bed
I spent most of the morning and some of the afternoon sick in bed. I still got Alex to his day program. Both he and Ben baths and pills. I listened for Ben’s noises but mostly he has been happy today. I also got the garbage and recycling to the curb. I still need to…

Points of View
I grew up with situational comedies on television. Sit Coms usually ran on the premise that someone heard something out of context and the person they heard couldn’t properly correct the misunderstanding until the end of the 22 minute show.
