Rockstar Dreams – Thoughts from May 7 and 8, 2022

May 7, 2022 May the seventh be today. I cleared out my office yesterday enough to get easily to my guitar. I still haven’t played it, but I can as soon as I add a new high string and tune it. It’s been a while, so I’ll have to remind myself how to do it.…

Space Alien – Thoughts from May 3 and 4, 2033

May 3, 2022 I’m listening to a book that is an oral history of The Next Generation and subsequent Star Trek shows. They talked about Deep Space 9 which I never watched. Hearing a description of the show, I don’t think I’ll ever watch it. They talked about spirituality being a part of it, which…

Booster Shot – Thoughts from April 30 and May 1, 2022

April 30, 2022 This past Wednesday, Patti and I got our second booster shots. On Thursday, I did yard work and was going to go out grocery shopping, but found my whole body was in pain and I just wanted to sit down. Admittedly, I sat down on the squishy couch so I got more…

Did You Do Anything Fun Today? – Thoughts from April 23 and 24, 2022

April 23, 2022 I asked Patti in a text if she did anything fun today and she said, “Like what?” That’s not exactly what she typed, but I wouldn’t be able to capitalize anything or use punctuation correctly to truly represent it. I would probably get a similar response from other people if I asked…

Sugary Things – Thoughts from April 16 to 20, 2022

April 16, 2022 I noticed a truck on the freeway coming into work today that was shoving himself into traffic from the on-ramp. He had a blacked-out version of the American flag in his back window and a baseball hat on. The big truck, hat, flag, and bad driving were all signs of reality denial.…
