OK, I’m about ready to call it a night and head off to bed. It’s a Monday night, and we’re after 10:00. The first Monday Night Football game was a heck of a game, with the New Orleans Saints pulling out a win that the Houston Texans fans just have to look at as another …

Day 20,446
It’s a Sunday night, this 8th day of September, 2019. It’s time for me to reflect on my day. OK, something that just crossed my mind is this perception I might have created to my blog writing commitment. Keep in mind, I started this blog out as a lark, without any real direction or purpose. …

Day 20,445
OK, my future grandchildren… Grampa has a bit of a problem. I’m a sports fan. I’m a fan of some of the most frustrating programs in sports history.

Day 20,382
How do you write a summary of your dad’s life? Ugh. That’s the burden I had to address today. No more procrastination. How do you say something about that guy, and do it succinctly? Without embellishment. No frills. Just the facts, with maybe a story or two. Nothing too elaborate. But the stories… there are …

Day 20,381
I’m kind of stuck. It’s Thursday, and my dad’s celebration of life ceremony is on Saturday. I’m going to be speaking. My dad was an honest, moral man that cared about people. I think back to the moments growing up when he went out of his way to help people, whether it was painting some …

Day 20,379
OK, time for me to break down a number. One of the things that I do in my blog is chronicle the number of days I’ve been alive . To be frank, I’ve been wrong at times, and I’ve gone back and recalculated the number of days. Hey, I miss a blog entry every now …
