I had a friend at work who would come to my office at lunch time and remind me to stop working and have lunch. I’d be stuck on a problem and want to keep working on it, and he’d insist that I stop. He say that if I took some time away, I’d come back with the solution, and he was usually right.

He would also stop by my office at the end of the day to remind me to go home. I worked with him almost 20 years.

He retired in November of 2023 and passed away in June of 2024. I still miss him.

I haven’t listened to the radio regularly in years. I listen to podcasts whenever I would have previously listened to the radio.

If you think New York would stick with President Pedophile, you haven’t been paying attention. New York State includes New York City, and New York City hated him long before he became president.

When I’m at the deli, I tend to order by the slice so that I have exactly the right amount of everything for the sandwiches I plan to make.

Ultimately, I wouldn’t blindly throw cheese and bread in a bag to bring along on a trip. I would only count out the exact amounts I need. However, if I made a mistake and there was an imbalance, it would not be an issue because I have no problem eating either bread or cheese on its own.

I am realizing right now that my daughter would consider all of that to be evidence of autism. Which I still deny because I have not been diagnosed as being on the spectrum. In my opinion, it’s just rational sandwich planning.
