I like watching nature documentaries. Right now I’m watching BBC America, and there’s a series called Planet Earth. This episode is focused on life in the islands of the South Pacific. I got into nature documentaries as a kid, one trait I have my father to thank for. We used to sit around as a family …

Day 20,030
It’s a Friday night in rural Douglas County, and I’m contemplating a fun-filled Saturday sitting on a riding lawn mower for a few hours. I have other stuff to get done as well, but that is one of the higher priorities. Clothes, the barn, the office… lots of things. Tonight, though, not so many worries. …

Twenty-eight days past my 20,000th day, and here I sit, at the office, just wrapping up the teaching day of m Office 365 class. It’s been a pretty uneventful day for me. Got up, made coffee, updated my profile pic on Facebook and made my first post of the day about something I’m grateful for …

Hey kids! I hope this little note finds you healthy and well. It’s Tuesday night in my little corner of the world. My Office 365 class seems to be going well, and the family is happy and healthy.

Day 20,024
OK, I’m back, but I’m going to be straight with y’all, I’m pretty much phoning this one in. My enthusiasm fir writing (really, my enthusiasm for much of anything) seems to be at a bit of a nadir at the moment. No real reason, just not feeling all that motivated at the moment. I’ll rebound, …

Day 20.023
Friday night in rural Douglas County, and I’m thinking I probably should’ve written my blog a little earlier in the day. No real reason, really. It just feels like I had a few more thoughts and perceptions of value earlier when there was some more stuff going on. OK, a recap. Trump did not fail …

Day 20,022
Good morning, my future grandchildren! I hope this missive finds you well. I decided to get an early start on my entry today. My class is likely to finish ahead of schedule, and by getting my writing done early, I’ll be able to enjoy the rest of the day and relax after I get my work …
