• Sociopathy, Normal Society, and Abnormal People – Thoughts from June 7, 2025

  

  I’m excited to talk about sociopathy. The reason for my excitement is the book Sociopath by Patric Gagne Ph.D. I finished listening to it recently and connected to her story. She herself is a sociopath. Her story is the same as anyone who doesn’t fit into regular society because her mind works differently than most…

• Things Not Said, No Shoes, and Happy Holidays – Thoughts from December 24, 2024

  

  For Christmas Eve, Patti and I went to our niece and nephew’s house. Patti’s sister, three of her sister’s sons, and an assortment of other people like me were there. Patti’s grandniece (a term I had to look up) was there, which I only mention because she was the adoptive parent of one of Scout’s…

• Birth, Falling, and Our Stories – Thoughts from April 27, 2024

  

  The biggest thing that happened today is the birth of our nephew and his wife’s baby boy. I’m really hoping I can reword that first sentence when I edit this Thoughts paper. Now that I’ve mentioned wanting to edit it, I’ll have to leave it as it is so you can see what I’m talking…

• Too Much Work and Mystical Beliefs – Thoughts from August 21 to 28, 2023

  

  August 21, 2023 Yesterday, I got a call from work, and they said I didn’t have to come in if I didn’t want to. You don’t have to beg me to take a day off, so I did. The reason they offered it was because of the hurricane warnings we had in the area. It…

• New People, Laundry, and Insecurities – Thoughts from August 5 and 6, 2023

  

  August 5, 2023 When I meet someone new at work, I try to find out work related things first and then move on to their interests. No one completely loses me with their interests, but I find myself less enthused about what some people find interesting. Sports is one of those things. Many people assume…

• 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…

• Yelling Instructions and Open Caskets – Thoughts from January 27, 2023

  

  I’m terrible at non-creative tasks. If you tell me to create something or help figure something out, I can start thinking of possibilities right away. If you give me orders to follow, my brain panics and shuts down. I can memorize things on my own, but my conversational memory sucks. When I have written instructions,…

• Out on a Live Stage – Thoughts from August 10 and 14, 2022

  

  August 10, 2022 I’m almost glad that the nervousness of performing live was too much for me. If I could do it easily, I would not be as happy and healthy as I am. I don’t like watching live performances so I don’t know why I thought I would ever want to perform live. Whether…

  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…

• Sugary Things – Thoughts from April 16 to 20, 2022

  

  April 16, 2022 I noticed a truck on the freeway coming into work today that was shoving himself into traffic from the on-ramp. He had a blacked-out version of the American flag in his back window and a baseball hat on. The big truck, hat, flag, and bad driving were all signs of reality denial.…
