Greetings and salutations, my future grandchildren! It’s Monday! Which means… … which means I’m faking all of this cheer and joy. Nah, it’s not really that bad.

So, yeah… I’m sitting here on a Sunday night watching our newest family member rip the stuffing out of a pink pig toy. There has to be a metaphor in there somewhere. Where it is, I have no idea. But back to reality. Not a real exciting day. Encountered a couple of idiots on the …

Hey, kids! Ol’ fat Grampa Bob is cranking out the words, because my lovely, beautiful, and forgiving wife is going to want me to head out to the pool with her after she gets back with Gracie from whatever quest they went on. And they’re back! Got a little good news. I’ve been picked up …

Day 20,033
Hey kids, another brief note from one of your most prolific journalling relatives… I hope I’m not the only person in your lives writing this stuff down. Think about that for a second. I’m no genius, just a guy that teaches computer classes to people that need them. One of the things I am doing, …

Hello future progeny, it’s fat old Grampa Bob again, writing things that nobody may ever read. But, hey, I’m doing my part, right? Gotta get my words in. The family is out at the pool, and they’re looking for the chunky one to come out and raise the water level. There’s interesting stuff happening this next …
