Experiencing Things not Made for Me, Including Silence – Thoughts from December 3 and 6, 2023
December 3, 2023 English is my first language. I don’t really have a second language, unless you count Nerd as a language. Sometimes, I wish I spoke another language well enough to have conversations, but not enough to put in the time to actually do it. I have delved deeply into English enough to keep…

Thanksgiving Orphans and Thinking Differently from Everyone – Thoughts from November 19 to 28, 2023
November 19, 2023 I found out from Patti that we might be orphans on Thanksgiving. Hopefully, it will keep me from over stuffing myself like I normally do. Except for my last two days off, I’m down in my weight. Holidays have become mainly about eating and drinking more than you normally would. All the…

Cabinets and Bun Bun – Thoughts from November 11 and 18, 2023
November 11, 2023 Today is 11/11. Need I say more? It would be funny if that was all I said, but I actually have thoughts to write about. I don’t know what they are right now, but I’m sure I will come up with something. My thoughts are happening all day long. I just need…

Halloween as a Kid and Changing Oil as a Fancy Adult – Thoughts from October 31 and November 3, 2023
October 31, 2023 In honor of Halloween, I’m going to talk non-stop about pickles. It’s the perfect scary snack. They’re green and look like fingers when they’re in a jar. It’s a jar of fingers. People used to make Frankenstein hands out of various sizes of pickles. I’m sure the pickles went to waste. Who…

Knowing, Accepting, and Pointing Out My Thoughts – Thoughts from October 28 and 30, 2023
October 28, 2023 “I don’t know why I did that.” I have never said this phrase unless I don’t want to admit why I’m doing something. The statement may come out of my mouth, but I always know why I do things. If I trip over something, I know why I tripped. Usually, the answer…

Not Our Bunny or Our Holidays – Thoughts from October 21 and 22, 2023
October 21, 2023 It’s time to talk about the bunny in our yard. I first saw him when I was mowing our lawn. I walked to our backyard, and I saw something hop away. Convinced that it was a hopping cat, I didn’t think too much of it. Patti asked me to look at something…

Misunderstanding Words and Loving Vacuuming – Thoughts from October 9 and 12, 2023
October 9, 2023 For many years, I have misunderstood what “tenure” meant. Much of my life, I thought it meant when a teacher reached ten years of teaching. If they lasted that long, they couldn’t fire them. Recently, I heard some talk about getting tenure after two years. I told Patti about what I thought…

I’m a Cat Trapped in a Dog’s Body – Thoughts from September 24 and October 8, 2023
September 24, 2023 Flourishing in my own filth is the first thing I typed for this Thoughts paper. Where do I go from there? There’s only one place to go. I’m going where I always go. Here we are in my usual talk of wondering when the world is going to stop being so predictable.…

Ignoring Facts, Wearing Glasses, and Movie Cliches – Thoughts from September 9 to 16, 2023
September 9, 2023 I figured out what my greatest skill is. I can listen to someone spewing facts at me and ignore them all. Facts don’t stay in my brain, so I ignore most of them. When I hear the other person express an opinion based on the facts, that’s when I listen. People who…

Restrooms, Dirty Cars, and Lessons on Lying – Thoughts from August 30 and September 3, 2023
August 30, 2023 And now for my favorite way to start a TfL paper. No, I didn’t have a stroke while typing. I’m trying out a shortened version of Thoughts from Life. Don’t worry. You probably won’t ever see it again. Oh yeah, I haven’t even told you what is my favorite way to start…
