Hey gang. Time to do that blog thing, and I’ve got to do a little nostalgia fill. I first became involved in theater while I was in junior high. I played the villain in an old-style melodrama called “The Purloined Pearls” while I was in 7th grade. At least one notable friendship ensued from that experience, …

Day 20,121
A crazy Saturday night, with all sorts of emotions going through my heart and mind. Yeah, it’s going to be one of those sorts of blog entries. I don’t think I’ll have any problem getting to 200 words tonight. Dane is having a good day with his marching band competition. I think my wife and her …

Day 20,120
It’s a Friday night in rural Douglas County. Dane is off to the Lawrence High- Lawrence Free State high school football game, Gracie is doing some homework (while her dog is desperate for affection and attention), Bonnie is out with friends, and Lisa and I are playing host to an old friend down from St. …

It’s Thursday night in rural Douglas County, and I’m in a bit of a relaxed groove, watching a football, and doing a little research and reading. Internet here in the county is being a little squirrely. I’ve not been happy with the internet access here ever since we set it up. We’ll see what happens …

Day 20,118
Nothing quite like sitting in the living room on a Wednesday night watching an episode of “Criminal Minds” about multigenerational serial killers. Ugh. It’s one of my wife’s favorite shows. I get that. I’m a little more of a dreamer, I guess. Not much into murder mysteries. Definitely not into shows where the victims are the …

Day 20,117
There are days that I embrace the blog entry, there are days that I just sort of slog through the day and then face that creative wall that is my daily blog entry. It’s not you. It’s me. So in the news lately, Sen. Elizabeth Warren decided to divulge that she has had a DNA …

Hello, gentle reader! ‘Tis I, your humble friend relaying to you the events of the day. Yanked an old molar out of my head today. That went better than I expected. It hurts a little bit, but itis certainly not as bad as I thought it would be. The biggest problem I have right now …

Day 20,115
OK, it’s Sunday night here in rural Douglas County. The Chiefs lost to the Patriots on Sunday night football 43-40. Can’t do a whole lot about that, but the Chiefs played well. Almost have to give the credit to the NFL rules committee for that one. It’s been raining here pretty much all day. Got …

Day 20,114
It’s Saturday night, a quarter to 10, and I’m just kicking back watching some football while my bride of 22 years sleeps in the recliner to my left. I love hearing the steady breathing from her as she sleeps… but when her breathing is not so steady, I worry as any husband would. It’s been a …

Day 20,113
Friday night, the beginning of a short fall break for Lisa and the kids. The pooches are happy to have people around. Tonight was Senior Night for the marching band over at Dane’s high school. It was nice for the kids to get some recognition. Some of the kids have grown very attached to that …
