  • A Game of Cat and Mouse

    I have heard and even used the phrase “A Game of Cat and Mouse” most of my life. I had a vague idea of what it meant most of that time. But part of my impression came from the Cartoons of Tom and Jerry. Jerry Mouse always won. He usually didn’t end up dead at…

  • Frederick

    Do you remember your favorite book from childhood? There is a children’s book that is just called Frederick. It’s about a mouse who collects the ideas of summer instead of food. He’s a dreamer and a poet. I love that book. I have the copy I read at six years old in a safe place.…

  • Impactful Books

    List three books that have had an impact on you. Why? I’m not going to do three. My list is five every time. My philosophy and worldview have been shaped by The Bible, The Quran, The Book of Mormon, The Bhagavad Gita, and The Tao TE Ching. Each one has challenged me to look for…

  • Fear of Women

    What fears have you overcome and how? Growing up I was deathly afraid of women. If I liked a girl it would take me six months to work up the courage to ask if she liked me too. I’ve grown up. I dated without becoming an emotional wreck. I’ve had four children from two different…

  • Simple Things

    Describe one simple thing you do that brings joy to your life. I have done several simple things today that brought me joy. None of them are fit to print. I hope your imagination is as good as mine is.

  • Taking a Media Fast

    How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen? I haven’t “unplugged” in several years. When I start being completely unproductive I know it’s time for a media fast. The last time I did one I decided I would turn off all my social media and video…

  • A Loyal Friend

    What quality do you value most in a friend? Friendship gets better with time. So it’s important to me that people stick around. Loyalty is a two way street. I want to be available for my friends in times of need. That said I want them to be available in my times of need. I…

  • Lots of Practice

    Do you practice religion? I am very bad at religion so I need a lot of practice. For a few months I haven’t been practicing at all. My religious life is diminishing and starting to atrophy. I haven’t been all that sure lately that I even want to practice religion. After all I’ve been trying…
