Every now and then something happens that makes you wonder about a lot of things, and you start to question what to trust, when to trust, motivations behind this and that.

Day 20,693
It’s Tuesday night, and I’m about as energetic as a piece of toast. Rural Douglas county is pretty quiet tonight, and I’m having a conversation with my son about his finals. Just had an interesting moment. I tried to write a sentence without looking, just seeing how well my tough typing skills are improving. Eh.. …

It’s Monday night. I taught an Azure fundamentals class today… the one-day version, and tomorrow & Wednesday, it’ll be the two day version of the same course with more hands on labs. Odie is sleeping, but he needs to get up and use the bathroom outside. Lisa has already been asleep in her recliner and …

OK, folks. It’s the 10th night of May, in the year 2020. Tomorrow morning, I’ll get up to prepare to teach an Azure Fundamentals course for an important customer. Then… I’ll get ready to do the same things over again. Today has been Mother’s Day, and I probably let my wife and mother both down. …

It’s Saturday night in rural Douglas County, and I have a puppy at my feet. I’m watching an old BBC show, and looking at ways to compare one of the characters on this show to an urban fantasy series I started listening to by (I hope I get this right) Benedict Jacka, featuring a character …

Day 20,687
For the life of me, I have no idea why any company, in the post-“Breaking Bad” era, would ever choose to use the song “Crystal Blue Persuasion”, by Tommy James and the Shondells, was ever a good idea. It’s a Wednesday night in rural DOuglas COunty, and Bubba has a little writing to do. Last …

Day 20,685
It’s a Monday night in rural Douglas County, and I am weary. It has been a busy day with meetings and preparation for my class stating tomorrow. I’ve got about twenty students, and it’s an introductory administration course that I’ve had some involvement with for awhile. I’m confident of a positive delivery. I’m watching a …

Day 20,684
Good evening, my future grandchildren, it’s old Grampa Bob talking about my day. Nothing too interesting, but that’s the way it’s going to be some days. It’s been a day. A Sunday in May of 2020, the first Sunday of the month, a week before Mother’s Day. People are still dying of the coronavirus, and …
