    Time Changes and World Champions – Thoughts from November 2, 2025

    We just had the time change where we gain an hour, but my body is still acting like I got less sleep. Patti said it’s seasonal affective disorder. I think my body is rebelling against the stupid time change that needs to go away. Hopefully, future readers of Thoughts from Life will look back on…

    Menthal Cough Drops and Copper Pipes Up from the Floor – Thoughts from November 1, 2025

    I’m enormously tempted to tell you about the exciting information I learned recently, but I will tell the story of what I learned in the order it happened. When I read or listen to stories that are out of chronological order, I get confused. I won’t do that to you. This story begins with a…

    Little Time for the Kitchen and Music Creation – Thoughts from October 27, 2025

    Life has torn me in several different directions recently. As usual, it’s mainly my fault. We’ve been working on the kitchen on my days off. That, along with grocery shopping, doing lawn work, and watching as many shows as possible, my days off are full. I’m used to that at this point. Having only a…

    Continued Remodeling, No Kings, and Outside Cats – Thoughts from October 19, 2025 – Part 2

    This is part two of my article from October 19, but you know that from reading the title. When I was last blathering on about Patti’s kitchen remodel, I talked about nature’s body glue. Actually, it was about a cracked cabinet that we had to return. Because we had to return it, I couldn’t build…

    Upper Cabinets, Corner Cabinets, and Nature’s Body Glue – Thoughts from October 19, 2025 – Part 1

    Believe it or don’t, I didn’t finish talking about the kitchen yesterday. Patti and I put up most of the upper cabinets with no problems. There was one time in the beginning when I tried to put one cabinet up on my own. About the time I could barely hold one cabinet up, I realized…
