Blaring phones and Two Year Old Cats – Thoughts from July 24 and 25, 2023
July 24, 2023 I went into a break room to have my lunch and there was only one other person in there. The volume on her phone was blaring. I stood it as long as I could and asked her to turn it down. She was immediately rude and asked me why she should turn…

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…

Explosive Birthday Aftermath – Thoughts from July 2 and 4, 2023
July 2, 2023 As birthdays go, this is one of the most recent ones. That’s right, I’m the big five three today. Because I exhausted all my vacation time in Jamaica, I couldn’t take today off. I’m at work, but it’s not so bad. My place of work is where people come on their vacations.…

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…

Drugs and Fairies in a Capitalist Society – Thoughts from April 19 and 23, 2023
April 19, 2023 I just heard on the radio someone referencing 4/20 tomorrow. It’s a pot head holiday. I think it’s the same station that plays Bob Marley at 4:20 in the afternoon. They made a joke about hot boxing a taxi. I understand these references, but don’t find them funny. Marijuana has never been…

Marching Forth with Thoughts – Thoughts from March 4, 2023
As I’m reminded every year on this day, march forth is the only day that is a phrase. Beyond that, it’s just another day that will live in obscurity. I’m going to treat this day like I treat every day – like the first day of the rest of my life. Speaking of days (they…

Laughing at Conservatives – Thoughts from February 26, 2023
This happened at the beginning of February, but I thought I’d talk about it before February runs out. Patti and I were grocery shopping and an older gentleman was walking around with a blazer on making him look like a professor at a college. For all I know, he was. As he walked by us,…

Dad’s Backyard Used Car Lot – Thoughts from February 1 and 3, 2023
February 1, 2023 We’re already one month into 2023 and I haven’t mistakenly written 2022 once. I don’t know if that’s even a thing anymore. People used to write checks and other things that required writing out the date, but we hardly have to write anything down these days, let alone the date. I would…

Wrist Rest Under the Keyboard – Thoughts from December 11 to 19, 2022
December 11, 2022 I started writing a skit in my head as I was waking up the other day. The basic premise of it was a guy brought a kid to Bring Your Child to Work Day and his coworker questions whether it is his child. As the dialogue continued in my head, it got…

Bleeding Red – Thoughts from December 7, 2022
On this day back in 1941, Pearl Harbor became a place of infamy. I know regular readers of these Thoughts papers thought they suddenly were reading a historical calendar, but it’s me, Brian. Patti and I have actually been to Pearl Harbor, so it is slightly relevant to me. I mainly mention it because I…
