Thursday night in rural Douglas County on this, the eleventh day of October. Looks like fall is breaking out all over, with the possibility of an overnight temp dropping down to freezing. Tomorrow night is Senior Night, and the football players, as well as the marching band members, will be recognized. Lisa and I will …

Day 20,111
Wednesday night in the county. The rain has been a little intermittent today. I’m just cranking out a couple hundred words to meet my obligation to myself. I’m not always inspired to write. I’ve written that before. I made an appointment to get the remains of my molar ripped out of my head. The remaining …

Hello, readers and future family members that I hope to meet before I leave this mortal coil. It’s been raining. For about two days straight. Ten to fifteen inches of rain. It’s creating some problems. I’m currently watching a news program revisiting the communication that took place prior to the election of 2016 between a …

Monday night in rural Douglas County, and the rain has dropped off to a very light drizzle for now, but man, oh, man, did we have a wet day today. It was coming down a bit as I went in to work, and this after it had already rained most of the night. It was …

It’s Sunday night, and I’m trying to get a few things organized in preparation for my return to the classroom tomorrow.

Hey gang, it’s a Thursday night in rural Douglas County. Seems like I have the house to myself for the time being, and I’m kicking back, watching a little Thursday Night Football, the New England Patriots playing host to the Indianapolis Colts. I’m looking forward to the weekend. I have some projects I need to get back …

Day 20,104
It’s Wednesday night in rural Douglas County. I’m weary from my day at work. But, hey, you are the people that read this, and I have a responsibility to write. Two hundred words per day are what I pledged, so that’s what happens. I’m looking forward to the last day of the class I’m teaching. …

Day 20,103
It’s a Tuesday night, and I’m just sort of kicking back here at the house. Some classes are more challenging than others. If you ever get into adult education, you’ll discover that there are some folks that make class more of a challenge than it ought to be. Had a couple of guys spend forty-five …
