Hey gang, old fat Grampa Bob, coming to you live from rural Douglas County on a less than the optimal internet connection, enjoying an evenings respite watching a 45-year-old James Bond movie from 1973. Kind of weird watching a movie where they introduce “Jane Seymour”. The actress, not the wife of Henry VIII. So, yeah, …

Hello, my future grandchildren, it’d fat old Grampa Bob coming to you live from rural Douglas County. Where Internet access goes to die. Just kidding… we have internet access. The fact I have two internet access service providers should tell you a little bit about how I feel about my ISP’s reliability and speed. What …

Hey, kids! Ol’ fat Grampa Bob is cranking out the words, because my lovely, beautiful, and forgiving wife is going to want me to head out to the pool with her after she gets back with Gracie from whatever quest they went on. And they’re back! Got a little good news. I’ve been picked up …

Hey kids, another brief note from one of your most prolific journalling relatives… I hope I’m not the only person in your lives writing this stuff down. Think about that for a second. I’m no genius, just a guy that teaches computer classes to people that need them. One of the things I am doing, …

Hello future progeny, it’s fat old Grampa Bob again, writing things that nobody may ever read. But, hey, I’m doing my part, right? Gotta get my words in.

Day 20,030
It’s a Friday night in rural Douglas County, and I’m contemplating a fun-filled Saturday sitting on a riding lawn mower for a few hours. I have other stuff to get done as well, but that is one of the higher priorities. Clothes, the barn, the office… lots of things. Tonight, though, not so many worries. …

Twenty-eight days past my 20,000th day, and here I sit, at the office, just wrapping up the teaching day of m Office 365 class. It’s been a pretty uneventful day for me. Got up, made coffee, updated my profile pic on Facebook and made my first post of the day about something I’m grateful for …

Hey kids! I hope this little note finds you healthy and well. It’s Tuesday night in my little corner of the world. My Office 365 class seems to be going well, and the family is happy and healthy. But my world may not be mirroring the world of Trump politics. Sounds like the fecal residue is hitting …
