• Fourth of July Fireworks – Thoughts from July 3 and 5, 2022

  

  July 3, 2022 Yesterday was my birthday, and I celebrated with sushi and gambling. It was the big five two. It was my last day of being off from work with COVID. I’m back to work today. I always worry that my ID won’t work when I’ve been off for a while, but it worked…

• 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…

• 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…

• Pooping on the Super Bowl – Thoughts from February 12 and 13, 2022

  

  February 12, 2022 Well, it’s been a while since I wrote about my thoughts from life. I have been listening to my old Thoughts papers starting as early as 1991. What the hell! To say it’s weird does not encompass how weird I’ve been throughout my life. So many ups and sooooooooo many downs. It’s…

• Missing a Cat Named Slash – Thoughts from November 16, 2011

  

  (Future note: The following are the words I wrote for the Three Girl Cats blog I started for Slash, Blaze, and Quest. They were born on June 3rd, 2009, and she died November 15, 2011. It was the final entry for the blog and my final words about Slash.) Unfortunately, this is the last posting…

• Three Girl Cats Named Slash, Blaze, and Quest – Thoughts about June 3, 2009

  

  (Future note: The following was written around May 2010, but June 3, 2009, is more relevant to what I’m talking about. This is the day Slash, Blaze, and Quest were born. As I mentioned in another Thoughts paper, Quest is still with us, along with four newcomers. Who are these people that came to live…
