Hey gang, old Grampa Bob here, throwing down a few sentences before I call it a night on a Sunday in March. It’s been interesting. Watched some more basketball, as I am a huge college basketball fan. Not so much NBA, for some reason, but who knows, I might develop a taste for it after …

Day 19,904
So, cutting to the chase tonight here in Larryville… Dane is currently on a bus, about to endure a straight-through express bus with limited stops surrounded by a bunch of sick classmates with half-full barf bags. Kansas defeated Seton Hall to make it to the Sweet 16 in Omaha. We’ll have to wait and see …

Day 19,903
It’s Friday night, March the 16th. I’ve got some corned beef and cabbage ready for the pressure cooker tomorrow, and we’re hoping Kansas finds themselves heading to the Sweet 16. It’s been a crazy day. My alma mater, Wichita State, was a 4 seed in the regional, and they found themselves on the wrong side …

Day 19,902
It’s Thursday night in the country, and Lisa and I are sitting in the living room watching some college basketball. Have been since the middle of the afternoon, and if you ask us if either has taken a nap since the beginning of this little slice of life, we might cover for each other. She’s …

Day 19,901
Last night I wrote my blog very late at night, and prior to the writing of my entry, there may have been some adult distilled beverages involved. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it. I’m not going to go back and change a thing. I thought about it, but I wrote it, it’s a …

Day 19,900
OK, I’m here in a hotel room in Salina, Kansas, and all in all, I’ve had a pretty good day. Mom had a good day. I would say she seemed more like a person inconvenienced by dialysis than in need of the procedure. After they got that going (and much love and gratitude to my …

Day 19,899
OK. The next 48 hours are going to be a bit on the interesting side. I’ll get up at four o’clock in the morning tomorrow to take Dane in for his band trip. He has to be there by four thirty in the morning, and the bus will leave without him if he is not …

Day 19,898
OK, so here’s a little idea that I ought to share. Get yourself a little notebook. I have a little black one that fits in my back pocket, and can also easily fit into the pocket of a couple of my jackets and hoodies. Keep a pen handy. These can be important because as you’re …

Day 19,897
OK! It’s Saturday night! In the background, I can hear the ACC tournament championship game going on between Virginia and North Carolina. KU played earlier this evening and came out victorious over West Virginia, 81-11. I do love this time of year. A friend came over to watch the game tonight, and Gracie had a …

Day 19,896
Another day in the books. Kansas won another basketball game, and neither team was at full strength. Dok was still out for Kansas, and Dean Wade aggravated a toe injury for the Wildcats. Compound that loss with an injury to a KSU starting guard early in the game, and KU had an opportunity to control …
