• Mormons, Caffeine, and BFFs – Thoughts from May 22 and 25, 2024

  

  May 22, 2024 Yesterday, a fellow employee retired. He retired from his primary job a while ago and this was his retirement job. Now he’s fully retired from all jobs.

• Spandex Underwear – Thoughts from November 6 and 14, 2022

  

  November 6, 2022 I feel like most of the world caters to people who are not like me.

  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…
