• Singing My Songs – Thoughts from April 3 and 10, 2022

  

  April 3, 2022 I’m listening to an autobiography by Phil Collins read by him. He has had a life in entertainment since he was a young boy. His transition from a drummer and backup singer to the main singer in Genesis made me want to listen to my songs. Sometimes I listen to myself and…

• Stressed Smile – Thoughts from March 28 and April 1, 2022

  

  March 28, 2022 I’ve been working on adding exercises and examples to my book. It has added about ten thousand words to it. I look forward to the day when I will have to explain what book I’m working on, but I only have the one right now. I would love to have time to…

• Negative Entertainment – Thoughts from March 21 and 27, 2022

  

  March 21, 2022 If you think I’m going to be honest in these Thoughts papers, you must know me or am me. I don’t have an off switch to my honesty. The only difference between me and my overly honest grandma is I don’t consider my opinions as honest assessments of anything. My opinions are…

• Pooping Cat – Thoughts from March 13 and 20, 2022

  

  March 13, 2022 Today, I have an adorable story about Beatrix. She is the smallest of Scout’s kittens even though they’re not kittens anymore. I was on the toilet and she was in front of me in one of the litter boxes. She was facing away from me and scratching out a good spot to…

• Restroom Habits – Thoughts from March 6, 2022

  

  I have to write immediately because it just happened. Two things I question in the men’s restroom habits just happened one after the other. Someone came into the restroom and washed his hands. When he was done, he walked over to the urinal. This is just the first thing I have questioned in the past.…

• Competition Man – Thoughts from March 5, 2022

  

  There’s something I’ve noticed recently. I’ve noticed it before, but I’ve seen several great examples of this recently. People of color, on the whole, are nicer and more pleasant than white people. Women and gay men are more pleasant than straight men, but I’ve noticed that for years. Why is it the most privileged among…

• Restroom Stall Weirdness – Thoughts from February 23 and 27, 2022

  

  February 23, 2022 Before I left the house today, I looked up a sad song playlist. I found one and was listening to it on my way to work. Why did I want a sad song playlist? It started when something I was listening to put me in mind of the song “Don’t Cry Out…

• I’m a Bit Much – Thoughts from February 19 and 20, 2022

  

  February 19, 2022 I’m sitting in a van and the mileage on it is 77077. Excited doesn’t even state how much that delights me. Patti and I went to a casino yesterday, and I walked out $60 richer. This is about equal to that. I just began my workday about two hours ago and it’s…

• Pooping on the Super Bowl – Thoughts from February 12 and 13, 2022

  

  February 12, 2022 Well, it’s been a while since I wrote about my thoughts from life. I have been listening to my old Thoughts papers starting as early as 1991. What the hell! To say it’s weird does not encompass how weird I’ve been throughout my life. So many ups and sooooooooo many downs. It’s…
