Day 20,272
It’s a Monday night in rural Douglas County, and I started off the work week participating in an event that my team puts on where people on the Worldwide Learning team spend a few days thinking about other stuff. Some tackle a personal goal, others just try to broaden their horizons. I kept my goal …

Day 20,271
Today I was not diagnosed with narcolepsy, so I’ve got that going for me. OK, back to the serious for a moment. I’ve got a problem with pharmaceutical companies advertising on TV. After all, it comes down to the patient asking the doctor for a particular medication suggested by the people selling the medication. It …

Day 20,270
Saturday night, and the household is tired. We’re just playing out a string of minutes tonight. I’m eyeballing a snack before bedtime myself… and wondering if I’m going to be good or cast my discipline to the four winds and eat whatever the hell I want. I’m big. I’m about 6’1″, maybe 6’1.5″ (there were …

Day 20,269
OK, it’s Saturday morning… I didn’t get my blog entry written yesterday, but there was some stuff going on, which means that I should’ve gotten the writing done earlier in the day. I didn’t. I’ll get over it. I do make an effort. Sometimes life happens. Yesterday was one of those days. I had my …

Day 20,268
The wind is still blowing hard, with gusts approaching forty miles per hour tonight. Colby ran off for awhile tonight, and came back considerably dirtier and funkier than when he left. Dane and I will have to clean him as well as some of the furniture tomorrow before Lisa and the girls get home from …

Day 20,267
It’s a quiet Wednesday night in rural Douglas County. The ladies in my life are all in Washington, D.C., as Lisa has NIH meetings, and Bonnie and Gracie tagged along as a spring break getaway. I got up early to run them to the airport at 4:30. After I got back home, I started a …

Day 20,266
Another uneventful day in rural Douglas County, with the rain coming and going in various degrees of intensity, once again returning the one dirt (no longer gravel) road leading up to our house into a semi-navigable quagmire. I think that last sentence might have some of the biggest words I’ve used this year. Dane and …

Day 20,265
It’s a Monday night on what felt like the first day of spring here in rural Douglas County. The mud pile at the end of the driveway tried to capture a few more unwilling victims, but front-wheel and all-wheel drive prevailed. My neighbor called in a guy to take a look at our road situation. …

Day 20,264
It’s been a Sunday. The temperatures have risen a bit, just enough to turn our modest country road into a quagmire. That reminds me. I need to see what it would take to get this little road on county maintenance. One of the neighbors has a Pontiac Firebird stuck on the road, high centered and …

Day 20,263
It’s a Saturday night in rural Douglas County. The girls (Lucy and Freya) are back in the bedroom, while Colby hangs out with Dane, Bonnie, and me, as we chill out and watch “Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse” on Amazon Prime. KU won their final home game today over Baylor, but it was a little too …
