Mother’s Day
On Mother’s Day, I hosted the first family event at the new house. I learned the following things. 1. My mom, despite literally knowing me my entire life, will takes something out of my fridge and eat it without looking at the expiration date. 2. If you ask Elainie to… Read More »Mother’s Day

Last night was Good Friday. At the conclusion of our church service the congregation walks by a simulation of the crucifixion.

Philosopher’s Wax
I thought about waxing philosophical on how indifferent I am to New Year’s Eve and all of it trappings, but as it turns out I’m to apathetic to even write about it. However, I am now intrigued by the concept of waxing philosophical. I know this is an old timey… Read More »Philosopher’s Wax

Happy Birthday and or Election Day
Happy Birthday to Elainie! Of course today is also Election Day. I’m not the type that tells people how to think or vote politically. I think everybody knows who I’m supporting.
