I only recently knew a name for something that I had some awareness of for a while. Experts call this, "microexpressions". They are fleeting expressions that appear on a person's face. They are difficult, if not impossible to fake, so they reveal true feelings to anyone who is able to read them...

My wife, Bobbi, and I met in 1993. Our first couple years together were, at times, turbulent. She was (and still is) a strong, independent, and responsible woman. I on the other hand, was close to imploding. I put too many quarters in the jute box, stayed out to late, and drove motorcycles way...

If you are not officially diagnosed as being on the Autism Spectrum, or were diagnosed later in life, you probably did not get training to compensate for some of our disadvantages. I think lack of social skills is our worst disadvantage. I do not think we have to just accept our fate helplessly...

5 is red 7 is yellow 5 is red That's the color of the digits five, seven, and five. I see them in my head that way. I see colors for the digits zero through nine. They don't change into other colors or blend when they are next to each other as larger numbers. The number 253 for instance is...

The words "animals + numbers 1-30 and alpha" This combination of words is somewhat cryptic looking due to the word "alpha." In this case, "alpha" refers to using letters of the alphabet, like the clerical designation "alpha-numeric." I have an advantage when thinking about the words of the...

huggybear 2.0 would be a toy, I think. with curly fur in various pastel shades huggybear 2.0 could be PG-13 rated video game, the name being ironic, because the bear would be a vicious adversary that crushes its foes I'd rather that huggybear 2.0 not be a state approved euthanasia device for...

Here are a few photos of the fruits I got today. The strawberries, plums, and black raspberries are understandable, the red, hairy things are called rambutans. They originated in southeastern Asia, and they are quite tasty!

There is a fruteria near my apartment along with a panaderia (a bakery) run by two young boys of the Maya people. They are in the same building and indeed are affiliated, but you have to pay them separately. The sweet breads are very simple, made of only sugar, flour, and an oil mixture: palm...
