OK… that was funny. I thought I had a smudge of dirt on m computer screen… not, it was an errant apostrophe. Normally, I write a note to my future grandchildren. Today, I’ll go in a different direction. American Airlines sucks. One of the obnoxious trends that airlines have fallen into in the last few …

Day 19,734 was a good day. So the last few days have had a couple of challenges. Lower back has been giving me fits. Today I tried something new. Instead of wearing this pair of blue running shoes (can you still call them running shoes when you never run?), I decided to wear my deck …

Hey gang, Grampa Bob her, and I’m ner to tell you that you ol’ Grampa is a wimp. Seriously. I’ve got a pinched nerve in my hip, and it hurts. I had been invited to some festivities tonight, but I bowed out. I’m having a hard time standing up straight and moving around. But… I …

Tomorrow, Grandpa Bob has to head off to Orlando, Florida for a conference, the Microsoft Ignite conference (used to be the Microsoft Technet event, but that got renamed and combined with a few other conferences).

Hi kids, Grampa Bob here again. I’m in a weird mood… and this kind of ties into why I post my blog by “days”. Today is day 19,727 in my life (I probably ought to double check my math one of these times… I’d hate to find out I was projecting weird base-10 anniversaries based …

Hi kids, hope you’re having a good day. My day went pretty well. Got a few things done around here, then went into the job – yes – I know you are shocked, but I do have a full-time job as a technical trainer – and I gave a two-hour presentation on implementing security in …
