Tomorrow will be the first day of the rest of my life. I catch an early flight and head up to the Microsoft home office in Redmond, Washington. It’s going to be an interesting ride, both the flight and the beginning of my life with my new employer. I’ve got everything just about packed up, …

Day 20,248
It’s a Friday night in rural Douglas County, and the rain is falling along with the temperature. This precipitation falling now will soon turn to sleet, and the driving tomorrow will be all the worse because of it. I hope that it doesn’t affect my travel plans for Sunday. Lisa, Dane, and I went over …

Day 20,247
Good evening to any and all reading this, especially any grandchild or descendant that happens to stumble upon the rantings of the old guy. The old guy being me, Grampa Bob. Today was kind of a special day. It was my last day at Centriq, a place I’ve called my professional home for almost sixteen …

It’s Wednesday night, and stuff is starting to get real. I’ve got my hotel booked, and my airfare booked. I’ve made an appointment to have lunch with my manager on Monday. I fly back next Friday. It’s all a matter of trying to figure out what will happen on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I have …

Yeah, it’s a Monday night in rural Douglas County. Not a whole lot to report tonight. Somethings are changing. Some things will likely be the same tomorrow as they are today. Yeah, I know, kind of a boring day. Hoped to have some new and interesting news to share, but alas, I’ll have to wait …

It’s Sunday night in rural Douglas County, and I am stuffed. The whole family went over to Kobe Steakhouse for a teppenyaki dinner, and we all ate our fill. At this point, we’re just riding out the evening until bedtime. It’s Lisa’s and my 23rd wedding anniversary. It’s been a wonderful day. Lot’s of time …

Day 20,242
Saturday in the country. Gracie’s dog is now sleeping on the couch, the floor of the living room littered with the debris left behind in his latest spree of dog bed destruction. It could be worse. Fluff is easier to pick up than dog poop. Lisa had a talk this morning on campus, so I …

Day 20,241
It has been an interesting day for the old man living in rural Douglas County. The snow has been falling most of the day, and the temperatures outside never got over twenty degrees. We have a nice little fire going in the woodburning stove. I had a wonderful dinner with Gracie over a Fuzz’s Tacos …

Day 20,240
After a high in the 50’s, the temperatures are dropping in rural Douglas County, and snow is expected tomorrow and likely over the weekend as well. I might need to get out to pick up a few groceries tomorrow in anticipation of the weather. I’m not sleeping very well at the moment. Too many things …
