Ignoring Facts, Wearing Glasses, and Movie Cliches – Thoughts from September 9 to 16, 2023
September 9, 2023 I figured out what my greatest skill is. I can listen to someone spewing facts at me and ignore them all. Facts don’t stay in my brain, so I ignore most of them. When I hear the other person express an opinion based on the facts, that’s when I listen. People who…

Vegas Hotel – Thoughts from September 14 and 15, 2022
September 14, 2022 Patti is in the middle of trying to watch TV with no power. It’s 10:40 pm, and the power has been out since about 9:00 pm. This is a planned outage, so it hopefully won’t be out until the estimated 5:00 AM time. I showed Patti how to tether her phone with…

Anxious Nerd – Thoughts from August 28 to September 8, 2022
August 28, 2022 I think I used to be more of a nerd, but now I’m just a recovering nerd. Reading back on my Thoughts papers tells me how much of a nerd I was. I talked about working on computers and other nerdy technical issues I was dealing with. Today, my nerdiest issues are…

Brian Explains Television – Thoughts from January 7, 2011
Brian Explains: Television The subject of my article this week is something near and dear to my heart. To this day, it is the friend who helps me wake me up in the morning and the companion that puts me to bed at night. It comforts me when I am sick and even helps me…

Drunk and Missing the Cat Sister – Thoughts from May 16, 2008
Know that I’m drunk right now, so what I say is from the mind of a drunken person. Have I mentioned that I’m drunk right now? I’m working at Disney these days. I’m a lead. On Friday and Saturday, I’m the lead most of the time. We have several people who started with me as…

Working with Anxiety – Thoughts from October 19, 2004
Well, it’s been a while, but I’m back. Back in time, back to the Assessor’s office, and back to being clueless about what I’m doing with my life. Back to being scheduled every minute of the day, and back to that anxious feeling in the pit of my stomach for much of the day. Most…

I’m Working on It – Thoughts from May 11 and 19, 2004
May 11, 2004 We had my mom over for Mother’s Day on, strangely enough, Mother’s Day this weekend. Our newly finished kitchen can be used to make shrimp, etc. We also had a Mother’s Day celebration at Patti’s mom’s house. I nerded it up with “the boys” most of the time. We were looking at…

Eye Twitching Holidays – Thoughts from November 17 to December 18, 2003
November 17, 2003 My system had a minor crash again. I had worked on a song (a sad song), and it suddenly wouldn’t let me logon to Windows. After much ado, it’s back, but I’ve been saving all my songs in multiple locations – which I should have done before, but at least I’m doing…

My 2003 was the Worst – Thoughts from September 10 to November 5, 2003
September 10, 2003 Help … HELP! … HELP, God Damn it!!! (Future note: This is all I had to say on this day in big, bold letters and I meant it. It’s fairly obvious, but I will let you know these words pretty much sum up my 2003.) September 23, 2003 I CANNOT STAY AWAKE!!!…

Large Tree Roots Under the Driveway – Thoughts from September 9, 2003
Tuesday seems to be the day to write my thoughts (all right, type them). Since last Tuesday, we found out from our Insurance company that we needed to fix our driveway before we could continue our insurance on the house. We investigated and found this asphalt patching material that could repair the asphalt. We knew,…
