Fantasy, Reality, and the Unreal – Thoughts from July 12 and 15, 2023
July 12, 2023 Listen up, people. I’ve got something to say. Just kidding. If I had something to say, I would just say it. I don’t like it when people introduce what they’re going to say. Patti does this quite often. She says, “I’m going to tell you something, but you have to promise not…

Water Damage, Tree Removal, and Video Issues – Thoughts from July 8, 2023
The other day, Patti and I noticed wet spots on our carpet in the den. We had problems with water leaking before, so we knew something was leaking. It’s the only time in my life when I wished it was a cat urinating. I checked the water heater and, sure enough, it was leaking and…

American Disfunctional Family – Thoughts from June 25 and 30, 2023
June 25, 2023 I’ve been back to work for two days now. I’m still feeling tired, itchy, puffy, and not quite back to normal. The one thing I didn’t miss while on vacation was my difficulty breathing at home. In bed, my office, and while watching TV, I’m surrounded by fur in the form of…

Goodbye Jamaica, Hello Miami Airport – Thoughts from June 21 and 22, 2023
June 21, 2023 Our last day here in Jamaica is here. We got up at 7:00 this morning. Tonight, we have to be in bed by 8:00 pm because we have to wake up at 4:00 am tomorrow. We have to have our luggage outside our room by 5:30 am and be out of our…

Jamaican Dreams, Crackers, and Endings – Thoughts from June 19 and 20, 2023
June 19, 2023 As I woke up in Jamaica this morning, I remembered two dreams. They seemed like one long dream, but I realized they were two separate dreams. The best titles for them would be Lazy Zombies and Flying Hamster Friend. I wrote them down so I could eventually develop them as stories. Perhaps…

Our Hermit Crab, Peacock, and Rooster Friends – Thoughts from June 16 to 18, 2023
June 16, 2023 It’s Friday and I think we all know what that means. Usually, it means grocery shopping at home, but today it’s vacation shopping. Patti is looking for a bag for the cat sitter and guardian of our girls while we’re here in paradise. We lost water this morning before we could shower.…

Operation Jamaican Vacation: The Anniversary Part – Thoughts from June 13 to 15, 2023
June 13, 2023 Day two of operation Jamaican vacation, but it feels like day one. We were too tired to vacation yesterday. I had a dream where I was petting a seal. This was probably from me missing Luna laying on top of me and our daily rubbing exercise. I rub her and she tries…

Jamaica, Here We Come – Thoughts from June 11 and 12, 2023
June 11, 2023 Here we sit in the LAX airport. It’s about 9:30 pm and our flight is at about 11:30 pm. Who is this “we” you speak of? This might be your question if this is your first ever Thoughts paper you’ve read from this Brian guy. Brian is one of the we and…

Vacation PTSD and Loud Nerds – Thoughts from May 14 and 15, 2023
May 14, 2023 I’m tired and cranky. It’s Mother’s Day, but that’s not why I’m cranky. Patti’s mom and my mom are no longer alive. It’s my life that’s feeling more and more out of control. Patti makes decisions for me, my work makes decisions, and time doesn’t allow me to make more than a…

Easter and My Weird Resting Face – Thoughts from April 9, 2023
Easter is rearing its ugly head today. I keep meaning to look up what it means to Christians so I can make fun of it. Right now is as good a time as any, so I’ll do that right now and get back to you. I’m back. Did you miss me? It is when they…
