Camping as a Kid
Have you ever been camping? My father loved to camp. In the seventies it was different. We’d go up a dirt road to what seemed like the middle of nowhere, clear the brush off a flat patch of forest, and pitch a tent. As the years went on he chose more accessable areas, and we…

Ultimate Rebellion
I’ve had 10mg of THC and I’m facing down the question: Am I a Mormon primarily to rebel against my dad? He’s an amazing guy but he takes money in exchange for his witness, When I met The Missionaries they preached the gospel for free. They even paid for the privilege to preach the gospel.…

Productivity is Relative
When do you feel most productive? As a general rule I feel most productive in the afternoon. Once I’ve had a chance to wake up and focus on my daily task list I tend to believe more than any other time during the day that I am accomplishing things. But productivity is relative. I need…

Spring Weather
It’s a decent day out. We’ve got the door and windows open and the house fans on. Cosmos has been in and out exploring the neighborhood several times. Magic is sitting at the door observing the neighborhood. She’s less curious than her sister because she explored last year. It’s a good place to be.

Risk, Marriage, and Children
Describe a risk you took that you do not regret. Anyone who has read more than a few of my posts probably knows I’m married with children. There is always a risk in committing one’s life and love to another human being. I do not regret the risk I’ve taken to have a wife and…

“Just-Us” System
I don’t care whether you like Donald Trump or you hate him. He definitely plays by a different set of rules. If you or I were taken to court on 49 counts of fraud, we would be destroyed because we don’t have the kind of money it would take to fight off such an onslaught.…

Audition at Reed
Write about a time when you didn’t take action but wish you had. What would you do differently? I was a state level singer in highschool. I took for granted that I was talented enough to sing in all the best choirs. When I went to college for the first time I got to audition…
