Closing down the evening here in rural Douglas County. I hope you guys are having a good time and enjoying life. (BTW, for the first time reader of my blog, I’m writing to the grandchildren I may one day have. I have three kids, but none of them are married and planning families yet, all …

Day 20,004
It’s a Saturday night in rural Douglas County, and the family is settling in for the balance of the evening. Lisa and Dane went out to the pool, and I kicked it inside. I like the pool, but I don’t like the water that gets trapped in my inner ear. Eh, I’ll live. Had a …

Day 20,003
It’s almost 9:00 in rural Douglas County and the sun is setting on one of the longest days of the year. Not the longest… I’m guessing either second or third longest. Yeah, I’m not a real exciting person. But today was a good day. Dane and I had put off his birthday lunch a couple …

Day 20,002
Thursday night in the country, people coming and going, eating, sitting, and watching a little television. Bonnie is home after a long day at her internship at Bayer Animal Health, and there’s a little Ed Sheeran documentary on one of the entertainment channels. Needless to say, I earned a couple of points with my oldest …

Day 20,001
Hey kids, old fat Grampa Bob here, recapping the day that was… and this day was pretty cool as Dane has turned 17 years old. Which means seventeen years ago that boy was delivered via c-section at the hospital in Wichita. They thought he was going to be too big for a natural delivery, but …

Day 20,000
It’s my day 20K, and right now I’m thoroughly hacked off over my internet situation. Can’t conect, reboot the wi-fi system, flush the DNS cache, still can’t get out to the web. Aaaargh! I should take a little time and ponder the 10k issue. The average person lives 30,000 days. I hit 20,000 today. Two/thirds …

Day 19,999
I have to confess that this is a little bit weird. I’m on the verge of rolling over to my 20K day. Two thirds of my life done. Maybe more, maybe less. One thing that I am very clearly aware of is that it could all be over tomorrow. Heart attack, stroke, weird amoeba eating …

Day 19,998
Sunday night, Father’s Day, and this day is winding down quickly. I have had a great day. Sent a big day with the family from breakfast until sunset. Chicken and waffles for breakfast, church beans for lunch, steak for dinner. A good wine to go along with the steak. Life is good. Flipped on the National Dog …

Day 19,997
OK, so it’s Saturday night, June 16, 2018, and life is kind of quiet right now. I’m sure our lives here are much better than the lives so many others face. We are blessed. Sometimes I wonder about dark things, but I break away quickly. It can’t be healthy to dwell on some things too …

Day 19,996
Hey gang, it’s a Friday night in rural Douglas County, and the old fat man is contemplating a dip in the pool. I need to get this cranked out. Two hundred words, and then I’ll watch the stars come out, see what phase the moon is in . Had a little fun today. Went into …
