Monday’s can be a bit of a bummer. Heaven knows mine could have gone a little better, but let’s not dwell on the negatives tonight, shall we? What do you guys think about comfort food? There are certain dishes that people seem to embrace, give them a warm feeling, possibly reminding folks of safe harbors, …

Today was a good day to think about future grandkids. That means we were talking and thinking about you. Today we made a family trip to Clay Center. We went to my mom and dad’s place and weren’t there very long when my mom’s sisters and their husbands joined them for an afternoon get-together. It was …

Greetings to any future grandchildren of mine. It is October 7, 2017. Today, our local university football team was pretty much stomped by another team in the same conference. We’ve become rather accustomed to that over the time we’ve lived here in Lawrence. Kansas football isn’t very good. I sometimes think we drop an entire …

Sometimes, you just have to watch Japanese monster movies. They can be somewhat reassuring that people can unite behind a common foe and defeat it, whether it be a radioactive lizard or a scourge from beyond this solar system. I’m typing this while I watch a tv show about robots fighting each other. It’s a …

Hello, future grandchildren, old fat Grampa Bob chatting at you from the past, hoping that something, one thing, I ever write will have a positive effect on you sometime in your lives.

To be honest, I hope you discover more and more of your ancestors writing things down about …

Hi kids, old fat grampa guy here to write his nightly blog. Tonight, I’m at a bit of a loss for words, but somehow, someway, I’m going to crank out a couple of hundred words that might (no guarantees) be worth reading. Nah! Seriously, though, we’ve had a good night around here. Gracie went up …

Hi kids, Grampa Bob here again. Today is a sad day in America. Last night, during an open-air concert in Las Vegas, a murderer took it upon himself to check into a room on the 32nd floor fo the Mandalay Bay casino, break out a window, and, with 19 guns available to him, opened fire …

Hi kids! Grampa Bob here, your aging, 54-year-old, fat, bald ancestor with poor timing and even worse linguistic skills. Today was supposed to be a national day of protest… people were going to shut off the TV, stay home, and boycott the NFL… the National Football League. I spelled that out because I am somewhat …

Hi kids, Grampa Bob back again. What are we going to chat about tonight…hmmm… what do you think about empathy and respect? I’m hoping you live in a world with a hope agenda. Sadly, right now, we’re living in a time where the fear agenda seems to be the priority. Bigots and racists are crawling …
