Day 20,008
OK, my future grandkids, today is one of those days you might want to look up in the history books. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy has announced his retirement. Kennedy was a more moderate voice on the Supreme Court, and often broke ties one way or the other throughout his tenure on the bench. The part …

Day 20,007
Sharing something written by John Pavlovitz today… Civility. That’s the card you’re pulling now? That’s where you’ve landed? That’s your go-to play at this stage of the game? It’s a little late for you to roll that out now, isn’t it? After voting for a self-proclaimed genitalia-grabber. After he suggested dissenters at his rallies should be beaten up. …

Day 20,006
Hi gang, old fat Grampa Bob her with a little recap of the day. Had to come into work this morning. Teaching a five-day class, Skype for Business. Three on-premises, one remote. On the way into work, the rain was coming down. In a couple of spots, I was reminded of the value of new …

Day 20,005
Closing down the evening here in rural Douglas County. I hope you guys are having a good time and enjoying life. (BTW, for the first time reader of my blog, I’m writing to the grandchildren I may one day have. I have three kids, but none of them are married and planning families yet, all …

Day 20,004
It’s a Saturday night in rural Douglas County, and the family is settling in for the balance of the evening. Lisa and Dane went out to the pool, and I kicked it inside. I like the pool, but I don’t like the water that gets trapped in my inner ear. Eh, I’ll live. Had a …

Day 20,003
It’s almost 9:00 in rural Douglas County and the sun is setting on one of the longest days of the year. Not the longest… I’m guessing either second or third longest. Yeah, I’m not a real exciting person. But today was a good day. Dane and I had put off his birthday lunch a couple …

Day 20,002
Thursday night in the country, people coming and going, eating, sitting, and watching a little television. Bonnie is home after a long day at her internship at Bayer Animal Health, and there’s a little Ed Sheeran documentary on one of the entertainment channels. Needless to say, I earned a couple of points with my oldest …

Day 20,001
Hey kids, old fat Grampa Bob here, recapping the day that was… and this day was pretty cool as Dane has turned 17 years old. Which means seventeen years ago that boy was delivered via c-section at the hospital in Wichita. They thought he was going to be too big for a natural delivery, but …

Day 20,000
It’s my day 20K, and right now I’m thoroughly hacked off over my internet situation. Can’t conect, reboot the wi-fi system, flush the DNS cache, still can’t get out to the web. Aaaargh! I should take a little time and ponder the 10k issue. The average person lives 30,000 days. I hit 20,000 today. Two/thirds …

Day 19,999
I have to confess that this is a little bit weird. I’m on the verge of rolling over to my 20K day. Two thirds of my life done. Maybe more, maybe less. One thing that I am very clearly aware of is that it could all be over tomorrow. Heart attack, stroke, weird amoeba eating …
