Day 20,145
Just a moment shy of 10:00 on a Tuesday night here in rural Douglas County. It was a good night for tacos and a quiet evening at home. The dogs are sitting on Lisa’s lap, the fire is orange, yellow, and blue in the wood burning stove. Class is going well, a significant improvement over …

Greetings, one and all! It’s a cool Monday night in rural Douglas County, Kansas has a lead on the Vermont Catamounts with a scant three minutes remaining in the game, and LaGerald Vick has set a new record for Kansas, hitting 8 for 8 from 3-point range. Very well done, Mr. Vick! My class got …

Day 20,143
Bob has gone 1 day without arguing on social media. In a number of workiplaces, they keep track of the number of days between workplace accidents. It’s a reassuring thing. With my personality type, I need to challenge myself to stay out of pointless arguments. Maybe keeping track of my arguments is a way for …

Day 20,142
Well, my life it a little better today. Lisa arrived back home late last night (thank you, Gracie!). I’m not sure which house beasts were happier with her arrival, me, or the dogs. To be clear, Lucy and Freya about lost their minds when Lisa got home. It’s always harder to sleep when Lisa is …

Hey gang, how ya doin’? Today is my twenty thousand and one hundred forty first day on this mortal plane, and it’s been pretty good. First of all, I avoided calling people on social media “idiots”, even though more than a couple probably had it coming. I got some laundry done, including doing the bedding. …

OK, gang, it’s the old fat grampa coming live to you on this seventh day of November, 2018. What does the old man have to share with his future grandchildren today? Eh… It’s been a weird day. Got some stuff done, listened to the news following yesterday’s elections, made dinner. Trump got pressed by a …

Day 20,138
OK, gang! It’s Tuesday night in rural Douglas County. KU Jayhawks opened up the season with a win over #10 Michigan State, winning by four, but the game never really seemed that close, with Kansas leading by as many as seventeen. In other news, we’re keeping a close eye on the elections, where there has …

OK, it’s a Monday night, time for the old man to get his blog written, and it looks like my hosting service has upgraded my normal WordPress editor to a different editor called ‘Gutenberg’. I don’t have enough info yet to render an opinion, so I’ll just keep writing and thinking about how I feel …

It’s been a Sunday… that last fun day before everything starts back over on Monday again. Hi kids. To be frank, it’s been a fairly productive day around here. Got up, got after it. Went to early Mass. After that, Dane and I went to the store to pick up a few things for lunch, tacos and …
