OK, kids, it’s a Thursday night in rural Douglas County, and my son is relaying a new character backstory to me. This kid really gets into the backstories of the characters he’s creating. I’m a bit jealous. I can’t say I’ve ever put as much thought into the backstory of any character I’ve ever imagined …

Day 19,994
It’s another beautiful night in rural Douglas County, and I’m starting to wonder where the kids hid my red Bluetooth speaker. I’m going to be hitting the pool here as soon as it gets dark, and the old man does like to listen to a little music while he floats. And waits for Greenpeace to …

Day 19,992
It’s been a weird day, and I think it’s going t get weirder before it’s all said and done. Monday. I’m at the office, day one of a three-day class in the books. One of my students has already taken the five-day version of this class, so we came to an agreement that she didn’t really …

Day 19,991
It’s a Sunday night in rural Douglas County, and I’m sitting here at the keyboard trying to hammer out a couple of hundred words. It’s been weird, and a little busy. Got up this morning, had a cup of coffee and a few mini apple tarts. Went out to buy a red raspberry bush. Not …

Day 19,990
Hey gang! It’s Saturday night in rural Douglas County. It’s been a long day, with lots of travel for some, a little driving for me, some planting of some brambles (well. hopefully they’ll become brambles someday). I’m kind of wiped out. Lisa and I watched some of the news today. Trump was at the G7 …

Day 19,989
Good evening, kids. Old fat Grampa Bob coming to you live tonight from rural Douglas County, just as we’re beginning the fourth game of the NBA Championship Series, with the Golden State Warriors on the verge of a sweep. I hope the series gets stretched out a little bit. We’ve got a little company this …

Day 19,988
OK, time to whip out about two hundred words and get off the system and go tend to the other stuff that needs to be tended to. It’s Thursday night here, and I should be badgering my son to get the trash out to the road. Maybe it can keep until morning… the trash guys …

Day 19,987
Hey kiddos, it’s old fat Grampa Bob here in rural Douglas County, enjoying a relaxing evening. We spent part of the evening watching what would now be considered a classic movie from thirty years ago, “When Harry Met Sally”. It was a fun movie to watch with our kids, but make sure your kids are …

Day 19,986
Goof evening my future grandchildren! It is a wonderful Tuesday evening in rural Douglas County, and I just spent forty-five minutes floating in the swimming pool, watching the stars pop out one by one in this very late spring sky. My first instinct was to write “late summer sky”, but that would not have been …
