Covid-19 – Thoughts from May 30 and June 23, 2022
May 30, 2022 Today started out crappy. I got a negative comment about the book The New Jim Crow about how racism has changed since the days of Jim Crow laws, but it still exists. The comment simply said, “ridiculous.” It was from an older man with Air Force on his baseball cap. Originally, I…

Booster Shot – Thoughts from April 30 and May 1, 2022
April 30, 2022 This past Wednesday, Patti and I got our second booster shots. On Thursday, I did yard work and was going to go out grocery shopping, but found my whole body was in pain and I just wanted to sit down. Admittedly, I sat down on the squishy couch so I got more…

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…

Wearing Masks – Thoughts from April 13 and 15, 2022
April 13, 2022 I listened to this book that was a scientific look at sex. I told Patti some of the interesting and weird stuff from it, but I didn’t tell her about any of the female stuff. It seems to be a sensitive topic for her. It’s been growing in sensitivity for years. I…

Singing My Songs – Thoughts from April 3 and 10, 2022
April 3, 2022 I’m listening to an autobiography by Phil Collins read by him. He has had a life in entertainment since he was a young boy. His transition from a drummer and backup singer to the main singer in Genesis made me want to listen to my songs. Sometimes I listen to myself and…

Restroom Habits – Thoughts from March 6, 2022
I have to write immediately because it just happened. Two things I question in the men’s restroom habits just happened one after the other. Someone came into the restroom and washed his hands. When he was done, he walked over to the urinal. This is just the first thing I have questioned in the past.…

Competition Man – Thoughts from March 5, 2022
There’s something I’ve noticed recently. I’ve noticed it before, but I’ve seen several great examples of this recently. People of color, on the whole, are nicer and more pleasant than white people. Women and gay men are more pleasant than straight men, but I’ve noticed that for years. Why is it the most privileged among…

I’m a Bit Much – Thoughts from February 19 and 20, 2022
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…

Anxious Cat and Cat Dad – Thoughts from February 15 and 16, 2022
February 15, 2022 I didn’t write yesterday because I was spending time with Patti on Valentine’s Day. We went out to breakfast even though it was after 2:00 in the afternoon. Patti and I are not early risers unless we have to be. I cheated on the vegan thing with butter and eggs, but not…

Mom’s Final Days – Thoughts from November 20, 2013
(Future note: This was written about my mom’s final days. Her last day alive was on November 20, 2013, so that is the date of this Thoughts paper. Despite the sad subject, there were amusing and surreal happenings going on.) My mom had multiple sclerosis for many years. Near the end of her life, she…
