OK, kids, here is it is, my life and the unfrilled truth of it… I’m tired tonight. Today has been a gray day, pretty much a light sprinkle coming down the entire day. The rain is hard enough to soften up the soft spots in the yard, and mud is readily available pretty much everywhere …

Day 19,912
OK, if this is going to be a chronicle of sorts for descendants of mine that are yet to be born, y’all need to know one thing about the day and place that I live. We live in Lawrence, Kansas, more accurately, rural Douglas County. My wife is a professor at the University of Kansas, …

Day 19,911
OK, a little bit of a rant tonight. When we moved out to the country, I struggled with our internet issues, thinking that my city cable provider would be able to get the same coverage out in the county. I did check multiple times and verified that they could provide access. It wasn’t until the …

Day 19,910
It’s a basketball game kind of night here at the residence. Kansas got their game together and succeeded in their game against Clemson, moving on to the Elite 8. Right now I’m watching the Duke-Syracuse game, as Kansas will play one of these teams on Sunday for a chance to advance to the Final Four. …

Day 19,909
Thursday night out here in rural Douglas County. We’re watching the K-State/Kentucky Sweet 16 matchup, and listening to a sewing machine. Gracie really likes her sewing machine. We’re under a minute in the first half, and I’ll give the K-State Wildcats credit. They’re up by five, and they’ve done a good job drawing fouls against the …

Day 19,908
OK, I need to take a few minutes and crank this missive out before I head out. Dane was sick, Lisa is now sick, looks like Gracie is sick, and it’s simply a matter of time before whatever bug is going around sneaks up and punches me in the gut as well, leaving me spewing …

Day 19,907
It’s Tuesday afternoon, and I’m getting ready to wrap things up for another day of teaching my Azure infrastructure class. There are definitely times that I feel that some aspects of this technology is kind of hanging out there at the very border of my ability, but then again, I find a way to recover …

Day 19,906
It’s a Monday night, kids, and grampa is sitting, writing, and watching a public television documentary on Jackie Robinson. For the casual reader, it should be readily apparent that I’m an old white guy. I have lived my entire life with a degree of privilege. I know it’s real. A number of my peers think …

Day 19,905
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 …
