• The Reality of Shyness – Thoughts from July 17 to 19, 2022

  

  July 17, 2022 It’s the birthday of the place I work. We have food trucks all over and they are giving burgers to all the employees. I gave my meal away to another employee and found out it was his third of the day. Someone else brought in donuts. I ate my regular food because…

• Conversations – Thoughts from May 10 to 21, 2022

  

  May 10, 2022 It seems like I am the only old person who is relatively happy with the way things are today. I heard several conversations today from older people who were complaining about what they could do or buy that they can’t anymore. When I’m waxing nostalgic, I’m usually talking about how much better…

• 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…

  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…

• Thoughts from May 17 to July 23, 2001

  

  May 17, 2001 Well, it’s today. Of all days for it to be today, today is not the day for it to be today. Why can’t it be today tomorrow? Actually, why can’t it be tomorrow today? Why ask why? Beyond all that is … there is nothing. That’s not true. I don’t believe that.…
