Diaper Please
What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like? I usually wake up to that request. I also sometimes hear light bulb please and chicken nuggets please. That is a typical morning. Sometimes I pee first. When my adult autistic son is satisfied I usually crawl back into bed.…

Brain Science
What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings? When I have negative feelings there are several medications that I take. I’m on maintenance doses of antianxiety and antipsychotics.

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.

Letters and Calls
I have had a busy day. Along with my usual blogging, art, and scripture study I have also written several letters to debt collectors and made phone calls to a list of Elders Quorum members. To top it all off I drafted a promotional page for a new satirical religion. Don’t worry though I’m not…

Building A Better Man
Describe the most ambitious DIY project you’ve ever taken on. I am making myself better every day. It is the Do It Yourself project of a lifetime. I want to be more open and honest. I want to be more discerning and wise. I want to be stronger and smarter and more moral. I want…

Favorite Types Of People
Who are your favorite people to be around? I don’t like naming names on this blog. I want to be famous but most of my family and friends do not. My wife is one of my favorite people. My parents are amazing. I have a few close friends that come and visit me. In general…
