It’s Saturday night in rural Douglas County, a gentle rain falling from the clouds that block a star-filled sky. I’m still thinking about who I am and how I can be a better person, i.e. less argumentative, less of a know-it-all jerk that creates more conflict than he resolves. Lisa has been sleeping in the …

There are some things about myself that I don’t like. I have this weird tendency to start typing a word at the beginning of a sentence and capitalize the first two letters, rather than just the first letter. It irritates me that I have to go back and make that correction. I also am not …

Good evening to you, my future progeny! It’s a beautiful, crisp evening in rural Douglas County. Got a few things done today. Took care of voting in the mid-term elections today. The line wasn’t too bad. After that, I went over to my favorite automotive repair location for some scheduled maintenance, an oil change, and …

Hey gang! I hope is blog entry finds you healthy, wealthy, and wise… but hey, two out of three ain’t bad. I’m sitting here on a Halloween night, not a single trick-or-treater coming to our door… that’s a first, but it’s to be expected considering our proximity to civilization and decent internet access. I’m not going …

Hey gang! Another beautiful day out here in the country. Spent the day teaching Office 365 for some very nice people, and had some guests in class for a while as well. All in all, I’d say I had a pretty good day on that front. After work, I returned home to discovery Colby had gone …

It’s a beautiful Sunday night here in rural Douglas County. I think we’ve still got a couple of windows open, a light breeze blowing through the kitchen and living room. Life in the fall. Tomorrow, I start a three-day class Chiefs finished out their divisional sweep of the Broncos. That makes it seven in a …

Saturday night in rural Douglas County, a crisp breeze blowing in from the north, gently. Hi gang. TIme for a little recap of my week. It’s been interesting. Oldest daughter went over to Ohio State on a grad school exploratory trip, youngest daughter making plans to move into her first real apartment, and the boy …

It’s Friday night, a crisp, waning moon just phasing away from full, and a few wispy clouds to grace the night skyI’ here in rural Douglas County. I’m just kind of kicking it tonight. Had a little whiskey on the rocks a bit earlier, Nekka, a Japanese single malt. Well… I think it’s a single-malt, …

Day 20,126
The 25th of October in rural Douglas County. KU started their exhibition basketball season and soundly tromped all over Emporia State. That game over, I’ve flipped over to watch an NFL game, Miami versus Houston. I’ve been thinking about how words matter today. I’ve been reflecting on some of the mean and nasty things I’ve said …
