  • A small artistic success

    Today my contribution of 24 stock images was approved on Shutterstock. They are all simple black and white Doodles and I’m certainly putting more up as they come to me. I believe it’s even under my preferred Internet handle “markezuma”. Have a heart

  • My “Superstition”

    Are you superstitious? The strongest argument I know for the existence of God or gods is The Watchmaker. If you are walking on the beach and see a watch you know it is designed because you have the sand with which to compare it. It speaks of a Great Principle of Intelligence that designs, creates,…

  • The House Cats

    Which animal would you compare yourself to and why? I find it remarkable how much I identify with our house cats. They are furry little apex predators who also happen to be adorable. I’m probably never. But they are also smart, independent, and quirky. I aspire to be those things. As black cats who are…

  • A Dead Mouse

    One of our cats brought a small dead mouse upstairs to my bedroom. Magic was standing over it and sniffing it so it might have been her. On the other hand maybe Cosmos killed and delivered it and Magic was just trying to figure out what had happened. At any rate this is the first…

  • You Made It To 100

    Write a letter to your 100-year-old self. Self, and I know I’m talking to myself because I’m in the room with me, Self I suspected you die of old age. 100 is quite the milestone. I’m more than halfway there already. But things are falling apart already. I suspect you’ve thoroughly used everything up. I…

  • Rethinking My Politics

    I am still a member of the American Solidarity Party. I believe that the preservation of life is the highest value to which people can aspire higher even than liberty which is why I can’t reasonably call myself a libertarian. That said beyond the whole life emphasis I am finding more and more disagreements with…

  • Shopping for Anything

    Where would you go on a shopping spree? If I could shop for anything and had enough money to pay for it all I would shop for local real estate. Maybe some empty land to build some affordable housing too. But I’m already in debt and not a good economic risk so my dreams of…

  • Bandit Lairs

    You probably already know I play a lot of video games. Lately it’s been Skyrim. The gameplay has me thinking of all the things that would be illegal in real life. One in particular is walking into bandit lairs uninvited and heavily armed. They try to kill you sure, but they’re kinda right. If someone…

  • My Name is spelled Frederick

    What is your middle name? Does it carry any special meaning/significance? I have some German ancestry. Well actually it’s from pretty far back so Hessians and Prussians. My ancestors in that wave came in the 1700s. I was named after my father, grandfather whose middle name was Frederick and my great grandfather whose first name…

  • Evening with the Crists

    It’s been a quiet day and everybody is relaxing. The cats are quiet. The kids are not. My wife is tired and sore. And I’m a tad intoxicated. Overall feeling good. This post has nothing to do with the daily prompt or markezuma.
