It’s Wednesday night in rural Douglas County, and I am thankful for the safe return of my wife and daughter from Wichita. Granted, these days, everybody is thankful for their family member’s safe return from Wichita. We moved away in 2001 and I’m glad we never looked back. There was some pretty nasty stuff happening …

It’s Tuesday night in rural Douglas County. My beloved is getting me a bowl of ice cream, my favorite, chocolate chip. I do have a weakness for dessert, especially ice cream. On the 20th of August, we’re tackling a new weight loss program… (ok, for a moment there I mistyped the word “pogrom”… look that …

Eight o’clock on a Monday night, and I’m just kind of kicking back writing my blog, wondering if I should go out to the pool. I sometimes like going out to the pool at night, but there won’t be any stars out tonight due to the overcast skies. Eh… Not a whole lot of news …

I was in tears remembering how Robin …

OK, I’m not going to lie to anybody. I’m sitting here completely unmotivated to write two hundred words on a Thursday night. Chiefs lost their first preseason game. I’m not happy about it, but it’s preseason and has zero effect on the regular season. I saw some things I liked, I saw some things I didn’t …

Hey guys, the old fat man here to tell you about the state of my world today. I love my kids. They have all proven that they have what it takes. There are moments, however, when you have to sit ’em down and have a talk about the state of things. Had to have one …

It’s a Tuesday night in rural Douglas County, and we’re sitting here watching some of the election returns. I really ought to think about getting to bed, but the gubernatorial contest in Kansas is pretty interesting. The current governor, Colyer, was lieutenant governor under Brownback. His opponent is a high-profile political thing in Kansas, Kris …

Well… any post that ends with a 47 ought to be weird. I may not be up to the task… Or… Heh heh heh But seriously… I hope all is well in your world tonight. Had an old high school (middle school?) friend drop me tonight. I posted earlier today about the issues that Trump …
