    Being Tired, Poop Schedules, and Genuine Friendships – Thoughts from June 4 and 8, 2024

    June 4, 2024 This is one of those entries that most people wouldn’t start. If you have nothing to write about, why would you start writing? I’m at the point that many people would call writer’s block. That doesn’t stop me. It just means you have nothing structured to write about, but there’s always a…

    Mono Hearing Part 2 – Thoughts from June 3, 2024

    Thinking about the subject of yesterday’s Thoughts paper, I realized I had more to say. This will be Part 2 of my discussion of the nightmare I call mono hearing. If you didn’t read yesterday’s paper, stop reading this and read that. Now that you’re back or you never left, I will continue talking about…

    Mono Hearing – Thoughts from June 2, 2024

    I’m going to start today’s Thoughts paper with a thought about what it’s like to only hear in one ear. I noted about twenty years ago in a Thoughts paper how my hearing was declining in one ear. Over the years, I have gone from only hearing certain tones to hearing almost nothing. I was…

    Celebrating Too Much, Censors, and Living Out of Your Car – Thoughts from June 1, 2024

    June 1, 2024 Well, June is finally here. It’s not only the time of gloomy weather, but it’s also the time of Patti and Brian’s anniversary. June 14 is less than two weeks away. We didn’t have a vacation set for this time of year, so I decided to take an extra day off work.…

    Non-Smokers, Feminist Punks, and Cassette Recorders – Thoughts from May 28, 2024

    Patti is still a non-smoker, but she said she found it rough recently, so she bought a week’s worth of nicotine patches. I have mixed feelings about it. You would think the time to use them would be weaning yourself off the cigarettes. She has been smoke free for weeks now. The physical effects of…
