  • 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.



  • A guy died at work. I was his manager, so when he went missing for a few days, the police called me and asked me to check his office in the basement.

    After I found his body, I was scheduled to be off a couple days. When I got back the office he had been in was emptied, stripped bare, new floor, new ceiling, new paint.

    A few weeks after that, I saw him walking down a hall. I rushed to the corner he had turned down, but he wasn’t there.

    He also had a distinctive odor. Poor hygiene combined with strong cologne. There were a bunch of times when I’d suddenly smell him standing nearby.

    I’m not a big believer in ghosts. I figure it was just my mind working through it.

    Many years ago, I woke up in the middle of the night with absolute proof of God’s existence. I went back to sleep and woke the next morning remembering that I had proof, but not remembering what the proof was.

    Being the agnostic that I am, I have to move forward without any belief in anything and disregard the memory.

    If God wants me to believe, they have to resubmit their proof of existence.

    Maybe in writing. In triplicate.
