Walk in the Park
Ben and I went for a walk today. There is a park about a mile from the house so we walked there. As we were passing through it there were some teenagers on a bench and on the sidewalk. They moved out of the way a little and I went around. One of them asked…

Ethereal Sleep
I didn’t go to bed until 3am. Ether really wanted to be next to me when I did. I usually roll back and forth to get comfortable. The spot he picked allowed me to do that and he didn’t mind this time. I bet that sounds weird, but he is an awesome cat. My sleep…

Stimulants and Stimming
The weekend was rougher on me than I would have liked it to be. It’s weird that I can’t drink three beers without get headache and nausea. I’m not as young as I used to be. It knocked me out. All the caffeine and sugar in the world didn’t properly wake me up yesterday. But…

Me and the Cats
Everyone is out of the house. I’ve done all my daily habits. I’m just listening to one of the cats meow and scratch the wall in the kitchen. There’s a little ambient house noise in the background. A ceiling fan overhead and the furnace below. But I can take a moment to listen to my…

Hard Living Catches Up
I work hard, I play hard, and if you’ve been here for very long then you know I also sleep hard. I indulged yesterday and it hit hard today. I slept for 17 hours. Stephanie took care of things while I did. I’m awake and dressed now for good measure. I don’t think I have…

Technically the Weekend
Stephanie and I were discussing finances. Well I was discussing them and she was telling me she didn’t have the spoons to do it. She said she didn’t even know what day it was. That’s fair because all our days seem to blend together sometimes. But our middle child’s day program aide said “Have a…

The Virtue of Uselessness
It has been another good day. I have not been getting as much sleep as I like. But I have remained as productive as a usually am. I have been shifting back and forth between artificial D&D and the works of Chuang Tzu. He is among the wisest philosophers that have ever lived. He spent…

Almost Midnight on Saturday
I’m thinking back on the week I’ve had (not too bad) and the month I’ve had (decidedly bad). I’m still blessed. Last night it snowed and this afternoon someone took a snowblower to all the sidewalks on the block and most of my driveway. I had to shovel the ice that the plows pushed into…

Phone Calls and Awesome
There’s a song by the group Spose called “I’m Awesome.” It’s all about the ways that the singer is not in fact awesome. One of the lines is that he’s got no voicemail because nobody calls. Sometimes that one in particular makes me sad when no one has called in a while. Today has not…

I’m sick.
The working theory is that Stephanie and I picked up a stomach flu. I feel like I’ve been hit by a train. I slept on and off for nearly twenty hours. It has not been an awesome day.
