Legacy Letter Challenge

I purchased this domain shortly before my wife became ill. Before I got to blog about local events, as I had planned, I was a widower.

This became my sounding board in a lonely existence. I also thought of it as a record to leave my sons. I’ve thought many times about posting letters directly to them, but never followed through.

Tonight I learned about the Legacy Letter Challenge. A father who lost his dad at a young age is now guiding parents through their own legacy letters.

The workshop is soon, March 8th, at 7:00 pm EST. Use the link above to register if you wish to leave something that your children will value more than anything in your abscence.

Inappropriate Unschool Shakespeare Movie Night

Screens have been heavily limited as of late. Guitar lessons, park day, Lego club, improv class, reading, and church activities have filled our days.

I missed our movie nights, so tonight we watched Scotland, PA, a retelling of Macbeth in 1970s Pennsylvania. It’s no more inappropriate than the source material and less grotesque than many stage versions.

It was exciting to witness my sons’ familiarity with the story. They were racing to identify characters and predict who would die next.

Late to Lent

It’s a strange time in my spiritual journey. God has never sent me so many signs that I’m heading in the proper direction, yet the tolls of this adventure are significant.

I pray every day, but there is a midway pause in the Exodus seminar I’m listening to and I’ve been remiss in replacing it with a daily study.

I’m testing out the Hallow app Lenten challenge with my sons. I’m unsure if it’s a good fit for us, but no other human resources are speaking strongly to me right now.

Modern Parenting Tropes Are Shit

Teaching boys to approach relationships in this manner is disgusting.

This is toxic masculinity as promoted by women.

I’m dead serious.

You want name brand? Pay for it. You want to lend things out? Learn to not expect them back. Treat every woman as honestly as you treat your mom. And for God’s sake, treat your mom with integrity. Even if she wants you to deceive other women.

Phetasy Overload

Bridget Phestasy is my favorite current events commentator. She coined the term “politically homeless” and speaks truth to power like early seasons of Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher, The Daily Show, and South Park. Although, I hear South Park still has some fire.

The following links are a couple interviews followed by an episode of her somewhat weekly comedy news show.
