• Birthdays at Home – Thoughts from July 1 and 6, 2024

• Sugary Things – Thoughts from April 16 to 20, 2022

  

  April 16, 2022 I noticed a truck on the freeway coming into work today that was shoving himself into traffic from the on-ramp. He had a blacked-out version of the American flag in his back window and a baseball hat on. The big truck, hat, flag, and bad driving were all signs of reality denial.…
