Which Reminds Me

Yes, I vaguely remember that during the one year that I attended Evangel College, I went roller skating with a group of people from my dorm, and there were also some guys there from our brother dorm floor, and there was a moment when I was roller skating hand in hand with Rob Schmidt, and then while turning the corner I fell on my rear end and he rolled on without me. And so later that year I noticed that he was dating other people and sneering at me, so whatever. Perhaps those people from Evangel might have some green quarters to pay for a copy of my book, but I have no idea when I would ever write it, being only now, forty years or so later, in the early stages of research. I might not live long enough to write a book about my hapless existence.

Yes, that was nice of Paul Gibbard to loan me his book, "None of These Diseases," which talks about the health laws of the Old Testament, and how modern science has learned the value of them in preventing diseases. Many health issues are addressed in the Bible which, when viewed in the light of modern science, still make sense, although we now have much more knowledge to add to that, especially in terms of medical remedies and surgeries, whereas in primitive times the compliance was demanded absent the scientific knowledge. Such is the nature of progress, perhaps.

Yes, it is true that you can't take it with you, why bother to build bigger barns when you don't know whether the grim reaper might appear sooner than later, and then everything that you might try to do would be for not? Better to travel light and be ready to go at any moment, because anyway, there are more important thing on my mind at this moment than some unspecific Texas junkyard.

Which Reminds Me

Yes, in the Biblical sense, we are required to forgive those who killed my uncle, and yes, I suppose that we do that, but on the other hand, they continue to bloviate and bluster on this topic to an alarming degree, to where we really are tired of hearing about this. Can't they just go hide under a rock or something and stop harassing us.

Which Reminds Me

Yes, I tend ot think that I am not very interested in working for and/or socializing with the repulsive skunk family who killed my uncle, needless to say, so you can easily understand why I will not be applying for the job in Texas, assuming there was one.

Which Reminds Me

Yes, oh, I forgot, I do think that I did hear something about how those Jehovah Witness people might have a problem with standing up for and saluting the flag and also with swearing on the Bible. However, I myself do not belong to that cult and so do not have that problem. 

Yes, I find it amazingly weird that anyone could mistake me for Libby, who looks nothing like me, but we must learn to be patient with these immigrants who seem to imagine that white people all look the same except for some superficial points.

Which Reminds Me

Yes, I remember years ago, at a secretarial job, when notice was made of the fact that the letters "cc" underneath a letter would mean "copies to" followed by various names. I was advised that, when initialing something, I should add my middle initial, to help with differentiation: "cjc." Otherwise there could be confusing alphabet soup.
