Day 21,318
This is the 21,318th day of existence as an independent human being on this plane of existence. It is January 27, 2022, a partially overcast day in rural Douglas County, Kansas, with the sun peaking through a quilt of clouds in the sky. I mean, where else would the clouds be anyway? I am enjoying …

Day 21,317
It is Wednesday, January 26, 2022. I double-checked my day count on Rod Martin’s website. I know the average person can expect a lifetime of pretty close to 30,000 days. Let’s make this one count, shall we? I was kind of stuck this morning pondering what I wanted to write about. Thought about how I’ve …

Day 21,316
It is Tuesday morning, and I am a bit tired, once again. (It’s January 25, 2022) Last night there was another game, a KU basketball game, hosting a very determined Texas Tech squad hellbent on becoming the third team in Bill Self’s tenure at Kansas to sweep the regular-season series. Double overtime. KU wins, but …

Day 21,315
It is Monday morning, January 24, 2022. There were times last night that I was pretty positive that I would not be sleeping well… like the time I looked up at the end of the 4th quarter of the Chiefs-Bills game, saw the Bills up by 3, and a scant 13 seconds left in the …

Day 21,314
Good morning. It is Sunday, January 23, 2022. My daughter is asleep on the couch, as she apparently was woken up early by her dog, Ruthie. Right now the other five pooches (yes, I did not mistype that… 5… Lucy, Freya, Odin, Rosy, & Lily) are just going about their mornings, getting underfoot and begging …

Day 21,313
It is Saturday morning, January 22, 2022, and I am starting my day with coffee, scrambled eggs, and bacon. Threw back two big glasses of water while my coffee was brewing, and I am sated. Sometimes I start off the day with news, right up until they get to some update on the pandemic and …

Day 21,312
It is Friday, the last day of my work week, and the 21st day of January, 2022. I woke up this morning to the sad news that Meat Loaf, born Marvin Aday, has passed. This is sad news to me. His role in “Rocky Horror Picture Show” was a debut, but his album “Bat Out …

Day 21,311
It is Thursday, January 20, 2022. It is ten minutes past six in the morning, and the coffee maker has just made that gurgling, bubbling sound to let me know that the carafe is full of my preferred morning beverage, coffee made with freshly ground medium-roast Tanzanian Peaberry. There’s lots of talk about the economy, …

Day 21,310
It is Wednesday morning, January 19, 2022. It’s fairly relaxed around here, and thoughts have turned to having COVID tests at hand just in case. The Biden administration has implemented a program to provide millions of tests for US citizens so we can all get a better grasp on this pandemic. Let’s hope it opens …

Day 21,309
It is Tuesday, January 18, 2022. Time for me to get in my expense report for the month. I hope you are well. More and more people are not. There have been multiple school closings around the state due to COVID outbreaks, and now I’m watching talking heads on TV debating whether progressives should apologize …
