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…

What is Propaganda?
Stephanie and I have been arguing about what constitutes propaganda. She studied it in her Master’s Degree program but came to the conclusion that virtually all media is propaganda.

On the floor
Our youngest son is sitting on the kitchen floor and eating his chicken nuggets. This is odd behavior even for him. He usually sits at the table or on the couch. Stephanie asked him why he was sitting on the floor but he didn’t answer her. I asked him if he was a goof. He…
