• 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…

• 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…

• Sugar Makes Me Fat – Thoughts from July 23, 2022

• 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…
