It’s a Sunday night in rural Douglas County, and I’m sitting here at the keyboard trying to hammer out a couple of hundred words. It’s been weird, and a little busy. Got up this morning, had a cup of coffee and a few mini apple tarts. Went out to buy a red raspberry bush. Not …

Day 19,990
Hey gang! It’s Saturday night in rural Douglas County. It’s been a long day, with lots of travel for some, a little driving for me, some planting of some brambles (well. hopefully they’ll become brambles someday). I’m kind of wiped out. Lisa and I watched some of the news today. Trump was at the G7 …

Good evening, kids. Old fat Grampa Bob coming to you live tonight from rural Douglas County, just as we’re beginning the fourth game of the NBA Championship Series, with the Golden State Warriors on the verge of a sweep.

Day 19,984
I’m wondering if I should’ve taken the dogs out for an extra walk. OK, it’s Sunday night, and we’re just sort of kicking back and watching some of the NBA Championship series (Golden State with a strong first half). Freya is sitting between my legs, but she has let me know more than once that …

Day 19,983
Hey gang, old fat Grampa Bob reporting to you on a Saturday night from rural Douglas County. We’re chillin’ out here, late on a Saturday night. We’re watching a Denzel Washington movie, John Q. I’ve come to the realization that Denzel Washington and Ethan Suplee have been in at least three movies together. I had …

Day 19,982
OK, it’s Friday, and I need to crank this out because the wife and kids are out in the pool and they say the party won’t start without me. What that really means, I have no idea. It’s been a pretty busy day. The garage door guys came over and fixed our issues with all …
