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 …

Day 19,895
I’m having one of those days. I’ve spent a pretty fair portion of the day watching college basketball, and my team one, so all of the other games were just means to fill the time until bedtime. But, KU won. I was worried going into that game. Kansas had all sorts of problems with Oklahoma …

Day 19,894
Hi gang! The Big 12 Tournament is underway in Kansas City, and it looks like Kansas will be facing Oklahoma State for the third time this season at 1:30 tomorrow afternoon. Normally, I wouldn’t be too worked up about a 1-8 matchup, but Oklahoma State has had Kansas number this year, sweeping Kansas, the first …
