Hey gang, it’s Monday night in rural Douglas County, and I’ve been pretty productive today. Got my daughter’s car tire situation resolved, at least for now, and in the process taught my son how to change a flat tire on a car. It’s not something monumental. I know, but it’s enough Lots of things in …

Day 19,984
I’m wondering if I should’ve taken the dogs out for an extra walk. OK, it’s Sunday night, and we’re just sort of kicking back and watching some of the NBA Championship series (Golden State with a strong first half). Freya is sitting between my legs, but she has let me know more than once that …

Day 19,983
Hey gang, old fat Grampa Bob reporting to you on a Saturday night from rural Douglas County. We’re chillin’ out here, late on a Saturday night. We’re watching a Denzel Washington movie, John Q. I’ve come to the realization that Denzel Washington and Ethan Suplee have been in at least three movies together. I had …

Day 19,982
OK, it’s Friday, and I need to crank this out because the wife and kids are out in the pool and they say the party won’t start without me. What that really means, I have no idea. It’s been a pretty busy day. The garage door guys came over and fixed our issues with all …

Day 19,981
It’s a calm, clear sky night in rural Douglas County. The day has been busy at times, not so busy at others. Got a few things done, and also took some time to relax and embrace a distraction or two. Lisa and I were both tired tonight when it came around to planning dinner. She …

Day 19,980
OK, it’s Wednesday. It’s almost the last day of May. And for my beloved, this is her 20,000th day on this mortal plane. That’s kind of cool. The average person lives around 30,000 days. Very, very few live and die on exactly day 30k. Figure half are fewer, half are more. Yeah, there’s all kind …

Day 19,979
It’s a warm Tuesday night in rural Douglas County, and my butt hurts. More my right butt cheek and hip. Water and tile aren’t always a great combination, especially when you add a semi-uncoordinated 54-year-old to the mix. I took a fall. I got lucky. As I was going down, I couldn’t help but wonder if …

Day 19,978
I’m still a little peeved about getting my numbering thrown off. Looks a bit odd seeing that numerical gap, but no days lost. Anyway, as days go here in rural Douglas County, today was a good one. We had company on Memorial Day. First to arrive was my niece Taylor, who drove in from Kansas City …

Day 19,977
Thinking hard right now if I have my day count right. This is weird. I was pretty sure I had my spreadsheet pretty tight, but now I’m thinking maybe I had it all wrong. Lisa’s 20K day is supposed to be this coming Wednesday, but that’s not working right in my head. TIme to check …

Day 19,973
It’s Saturday night here in rural Douglas County, and we’ve had quite the busy day. Some of my family will be coming over for a visit on Memorial Day, and we’re working vigorously to get the house and property ready to receive them. I jumped on the lawn mower first thing this morning and spent …
