    Out with the Old Shed, In with the New – Thoughts from December 27, 2024

    This entry was not actually written on the 27th, but let’s pretend that it was. Patti and I had been working on the outside of the house and now it was time to put in the new shed in the backyard. Step one of putting in the new shed was deconstructing the old shed. Some…

  • Christmas, Cats, and a New Cat Tree – Thoughts from December 25, 2024

    Christmas, Cats, and a New Cat Tree – Thoughts from December 25, 2024

    Just as Christmas Eve was mainly about our niece and nephew’s new baby, Christmas Day was about Scout and her three kittens. Actually, it’s about Scout and her only slightly younger than her adult cats. Until next July, Scout is four and Beatrix, Luna, and Willow are three. Beatrix is about the same size as…

    Things Not Said, No Shoes, and Happy Holidays – Thoughts from December 24, 2024

    For Christmas Eve, Patti and I went to our niece and nephew’s house. Patti’s sister, three of her sister’s sons, and an assortment of other people like me were there. Patti’s grandniece (a term I had to look up) was there, which I only mention because she was the adoptive parent of one of Scout’s…

  • Downness, Home Repairs, and New Computers – Thoughts from December 18, 2024

    Downness, Home Repairs, and New Computers – Thoughts from December 18, 2024

    As usual, I haven’t been writing my Thoughts papers recently and I’ve been feeling down recently. Part of my “downness” stems from a document from our mobile home park detailing what is wrong with the outside of our house. The main and most difficult parts have to do with how run-down the paint is on…

    Cheating, Unhappy Wives, and Eating Together – Thoughts from November 25 and December 2, 2024

    November 25, 2024 I’ve never cheated on Patti, and I never will. I’m sure I’ve had opportunities, but I’ve probably missed them by being clueless to such things. If someone was willing to cheat on Patti with me, I wouldn’t want to be with them anyway. My flirting game is virtually nonexistent. I never really…
