My Fantastical Reality – Thoughts from August 12, 2024
This Thursday, August 15, is my appointment to see a throat specialist. I mostly just want to find out what is wrong with my throat. After that, I want to find out what they can do to fix it. I’ve been experimenting with different toothpastes to see if they could be irritating my throat. My…

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…

Christmas Games – Thoughts from December 20 and 21, 2022
December 20, 2022 Patti came to work with me today. On the way, we talked the whole time. Sometimes we put on a podcast and listen to that, but we were both Chatty Cathies and never really listened to anything but each other. It’s good to know that after 25 years of marriage we can…

Anxious Nerd – Thoughts from August 28 to September 8, 2022
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…

X Chromosome – Thoughts from July 30 and August 1, 2022
July 30, 2022 The past few days have been weird, but not in a good way. I had to sit still on a freeway for hours and eventually get off the freeway by driving the wrong way. I gained 3.7 pounds in one day (not my personal record, but close). The day before, I got…

Writer Dude Stories – Thoughts from July 24, 2022
We have a new person who works in our department who I hardly ever see because she works mornings and I work at night. I told her, “I hardly ever see you. Tell me something interesting about yourself.” She told me about her past jobs and that one of her sons has autism. She talked…

December 1, 1992 – Journal Assignment 2
This journal entry comes from a Psychology 115 class I had in college. I mixed it in with my Thoughts papers because it represents my only thoughts from 1992. Each week, we were asked to write about specific aspects of our lives. For that reason, this is probably my most organized series of thoughts. I…

August 22, 1997 – Thoughts from Life 2
First, let me make something perfectly clear (to steal a phrase from a man who stole the innocence out from under America). This is not a sequel to Thoughts from Life. It is merely a continuance of my thoughts as the title suggests (Okay, the title out-and-out states it). I’m not saying that all sequels…
