My Abnormalities – Thoughts from July 22 and 23, 2023

July 22, 2023 I was talking to a new employee about several subjects. I have alternative points of view to almost everything he said. He was saying it’s not illegal to use a VPN (virtual private network). I agreed, but said he was lying when he did. We use free services in exchange for information…

Never Seeing Quest Again – Thoughts from July 18, 2023

I just got a call at work from Patti about Quest. Quest was in our bedroom on the floor, and she couldn’t lift her head. Patti’s sister came over and they are going to take Quest to the vet. Patti and I dealt with this situation before. Sister (the cat) had the same thing happen…

Celebrating in Annoyance – Thoughts from July 17, 2023

Today is a big day at my work. July 17, 1955, D-land opened. I can still recite the dedication from memory. I memorized it before I came to work here. Memorizing things was something I did back then. It has reached my permanent memory. After eighteen years of working here, I can say that. I…

Thinking About Quest – Thoughts from July 16, 2023

I’ve become the guy who brings down the room by talking about Quest going blind. I can’t really talk about anything else because it’s the only thing on my mind. She just turned thirteen years old and I don’t know if she’s going to make it to fourteen. I tell people her age and they…

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…

Water Damage, Tree Removal, and Video Issues – Thoughts from July 8, 2023

The other day, Patti and I noticed wet spots on our carpet in the den. We had problems with water leaking before, so we knew something was leaking. It’s the only time in my life when I wished it was a cat urinating. I checked the water heater and, sure enough, it was leaking and…

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.…

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…

Goodbye Jamaica, Hello Miami Airport – Thoughts from June 21 and 22, 2023

June 21, 2023 Our last day here in Jamaica is here. We got up at 7:00 this morning. Tonight, we have to be in bed by 8:00 pm because we have to wake up at 4:00 am tomorrow. We have to have our luggage outside our room by 5:30 am and be out of our…

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…
