Every. Single. Time. Last year, Mo and I bought our first house. We love it. A little 1940s Cape Cod, it’s the perfect size for our little family. And all the relatives who are over quite regularly. Plus the college students we have over for […]

Moving https://amusingames.com/moving/ Mon, 22 Jul 2019 02:02:53 +0000 http://amusingames.com/?p=1727 I used to do a lot of moving. As a kid we lived in three different house on the same street in three years. As a young adult, I did the age typical move once a year until I finished law school. Less than a year ago, Mo and I […]

Summer Reflections https://amusingames.com/1718-2/ Tue, 16 Jul 2019 01:50:00 +0000 http://amusingames.com/?p=1718 The last several days have been blazing hot here in Michigan, tempting me to wish that the temperature would drop a few degrees–or more. But I try to remind myself that not that long ago I was complaining how unusually cold it was for May and June and wishing that […]

Posting About Not Posting https://amusingames.com/posting-not-posting/ https://amusingames.com/posting-not-posting/#comments Tue, 17 Apr 2018 00:13:29 +0000 http://amusingames.com/?p=1669 Though never expressly announced on here, I imagine those who still come by this blog from time to time have figured out that Mo and I have welcomed a baby boy into our family in the last year. S.E. Prime (clearly not his real name) turned 9 months old last […]

Podcast Junkie https://amusingames.com/podcast-junkie/ https://amusingames.com/podcast-junkie/#comments Thu, 01 Mar 2018 01:13:44 +0000 http://amusingames.com/?p=1660 One of my favorite forms of consuming content is via podcasts. I began dabbling in them to keep up with the sermons at my home church while I was away at college. I now also listen to them to gain inspiration on how to grow ideas. They help me keep up […]

The Subtle Sprouting of Spring https://amusingames.com/subtle-sprouting-spring/ Thu, 06 Apr 2017 00:30:03 +0000 http://amusingames.com/?p=1646 I’ve developed a pet peeve over the last six months to a year. I can’t stand people who complain about the weather constantly. Bewailing the temperature or what is falling from the sky seems to be the only status update some post on Facebook. Seriously, there were a few who almost […]

Dijon Mushroom Meatless Cutlets https://amusingames.com/dijon-mushroom-meatless-cutlets/ Mon, 17 Oct 2016 00:08:06 +0000 http://amusingames.com/?p=1628 Oh, Pinterest. My cooking hobby would not be what it is today without the aid of this addicting wonderful website. Browsing brings so many ideas of new dishes to experiment with in my kitchen. Usually, I follow the recipes I select pretty closely at first. Sometimes they seep into longterm memory, and I […]

Balanced Social Commitments https://amusingames.com/balanced-social-commitments/ Sun, 16 Oct 2016 17:23:58 +0000 http://amusingames.com/?p=1624 I think I resonate with this article due more to my introverted nature than my busy social commitments. Truly, social engagements for me are scarce these days. Perhaps because I learned some of the principles drawn from this article intuitively. Limiting how many times I book myself a week (eh, a month). […]

Satisfied With Goodness: Reflections on Ecclesiastes 6 https://amusingames.com/satisfied-goodness-reflections-ecclesiastes-6/ Sat, 09 Jul 2016 00:00:40 +0000 http://amusingames.com/?p=1609 Can I be honest about something? I had a really hard time getting through Ecclesiastes 6, even though it is the shortest chapter in the book. The words were not sticking in my memory. The thoughts and themes were not penetrating my mind. But I slugged through, because I have a […]
