• Emergency Rooms, CT Scans, and Old Habits – Thoughts from February 29, 2024

  

  It’s leap day or leap year or however you say it. I’m at the emergency room with Patti. She woke up and was blind in her right eye. Eventually, she could see out of the top of her eye, but the lower half was gray and blocking her sight. Because Patti is Patti, she drove…

• Christmas Weight and Other Random Subjects – Thoughts from December 29, 2022

  

  December 29, 2022 During all the Christmas eating, I gained six pounds. I do it every year during Christmas. My regular eating habits are such that I can lose it relatively easily. We still have New Years Eve coming up so it will probably go back up again. I feel crappy when my weight goes…

• Staring at Your Phone – Thoughts from August 23 and 25, 2022

  

  August 23, 2022 I just saw a large gentleman wearing black shorts with white socks that went all the way up his legs until they disappeared into his shorts.

  July 14, 2022 Patti was having me put in for time off for her birthday in September and she had me going back to work the day after we drive back from Vegas. She does this often. She tells me what days to take off, but doesn’t add a day at the end for me…

• Space Alien – Thoughts from May 3 and 4, 2033

  

  May 3, 2022 I’m listening to a book that is an oral history of The Next Generation and subsequent Star Trek shows. They talked about Deep Space 9 which I never watched. Hearing a description of the show, I don’t think I’ll ever watch it. They talked about spirituality being a part of it, which…
