Cassius Caulfield: On Miracles

http://thescooterlounge.blogspot.com/2014/10/on-miracles.html

Wednesday, October 22, 2014. Five years ago, on this day, I had a terrible accident. But this isn't about something terrible. It's about something breathtakingly sacred to me- something that was a tremendous blessing of the disguised variety. It was a pivotal experience in my life. I went to the emergency room knowing that I would be unable to pay for it. Just going there felt like stealing. A few days later, I became sick. I lost my appetite completely, and began throwing up. I couldn't even kee...It wa...

Cassius Caulfield: January 2013

http://thescooterlounge.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

Friday, January 11, 2013. Lately my facebook feed is alive with links from friends regarding guns and gun-related legislation. Most are articles from various media outlets (some mainstream, others of the tinfoil hat persuasion). Some are just pictures with clever captions. It's interesting to see how my different friends and acquaintances vary in their opinions about guns. I put the gun down slowly and said, "I've never fired a gun. If I had one, I'm afraid I'd use it on myself.". All of this has had me ...

Cassius Caulfield: December 2011

http://thescooterlounge.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html

Saturday, December 17, 2011. The First National Bank of Kmart. By now everyone has seen the news about "Layaway Angels.". This is a phenomenon in which people are anonymously paying off the layaway purchases of Kmart shoppers. It's a Christmas miracle. Yesterday in response to a thread on facebook, I made a snarky comment about this. While I thought it was humorous, it drew the ire of several people I don't even know. Ain't facebook grand? With his kids in the car. This brings me back to the "Layaway Ang...

Cassius Caulfield: March 2012

http://thescooterlounge.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

Saturday, March 10, 2012. Utah lawmakers recently passed what is being called an "abstinence only" sex education bill. You can read it here. A childhood friend of mine recently posted about it on facebook. At first I hesitated to comment on his post, but finally I jumped in because I feel it's an important issue and I strongly disagree with his premise. As a result, I may have lost a friend, though that was not my intention. I'll call my friend Nephi, and me Me. Nephi's original status update:. Young peo...

Tuesday, March 22, 2011. Notes on Crystal to the Rescue. My sweet little daughter loves to draw and write stories. When she hangs out with me at the shop she takes all the printer paper, the stapler, and a box of markers and gets to work binding her own books. The story below was one of my favorites but it just about broke my heart. I fear that she feels she is always left behind. I worry about what might happen to her. I don't know how to reconcile that. I just want my daughter to always be safe. To be ...

Cassius Caulfield: April 2011

http://thescooterlounge.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

Wednesday, April 13, 2011. I discovered U2 when I was in 7th grade. I had heard they were good, and I thought that socially it would probably be a good move to get into them. I asked a friend in my English class (whose brother was a confirmed U2 fanatic) to get me a mix tape of their best songs. The tape was a winner. It had all the best tracks and even some deep cuts ranging from their earliest work up to Wide Awake in America. I listened to it at night while reading The Chronicles of Narnia.

Tuesday, January 10, 2012. I have a problem and I need some help with it. It's about our dog. I know I've blogged and facebooked about this before. The thing is, I've always joked about this in the past, but it's no laughing matter. Lately I've been watching episodes of Monk on Netflix. My kids have watched it with me sometimes. One day, after hearing me complain about the dog, my daughter said, "Dad, you're just like Mr. Monk. You're afraid of dog germs.". It gets worse. The dog likes to happily rol...
