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 …

O, so tonight Lisa and I are watching a CNN “History of Comedy”, and tonight’s episode is “Gone Too Soon”.

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 …

Hey gang, old fat Grampa Bob, doing his thing on a Sunday night. We had a good day here in rural Douglas County. Simple breakfast, better lunch, and a dinner comprised of an old family favorite. A little background. Every family has the little things they do to celebrate doing a little bit better than …
