    Kitchen Remodel, New Tools, and Outside Cats – Thoughts from August 23, 2025

    I had my appointment to check on my throat after my surgery to remove the polyp on my vocal cord. I knew it didn’t feel like it used to years ago. Seeing the image the doctor took with the camera down my throat was disappointing. The polyp was smaller than the last image before the…

  • Sociopathy, Normal Society, and Abnormal People – Thoughts from June 7, 2025

    Sociopathy, Normal Society, and Abnormal People – Thoughts from June 7, 2025

    I’m excited to talk about sociopathy. The reason for my excitement is the book Sociopath by Patric Gagne Ph.D. I finished listening to it recently and connected to her story. She herself is a sociopath. Her story is the same as anyone who doesn’t fit into regular society because her mind works differently than most…

    Not Talking, Testing Beds, and Collecting Figures – Thoughts from June 3, 2025

    The day after my surgery, I thought it would be a good idea to look at beds. I did some research on beds online, but I wanted to feel them in person. Our old mattress was getting painful to sleep on. It was only slightly better than sleeping on the floor. All the mattresses I…
