Hey gang! Old Grampa Bob here cranking out a few hundred words before I call it a night and hit the sack. There are so many things that you guys are going to do so much better than your grandmother and me, so much better than your parents. I’m not kidding. My folks are great …

Day 19,892
I have to figure out where my bandwidth is going. My current contract allows for an ungoverned download quota of 50 gigabytes per month. I have twenty-two days left in my service period and we’ve already munched through half of our allocated bandwidth for the month, and I was gone all of last week. We …

Day 19,891
OK. For those of you that are reading my blog for the first time, a note. A while back I started writing my blog with the intent of providing a bit of a chronicle for the grandchildren I expect to have one day. I read an interesting meme today. The topic was the Puckle Gun, …

Day 19,890
I am happy to be home. OK, for those of you that are completely oblivious to the editing process, I just made a change to one word in the opening line that allowed the sentence to make more sense. If I had left it alone, it would have been hilarious. I’ll let y’all speculate. I …

Day 19,889
Hey gang. I hope things are well with you. Today was the last day I spent with my professional friends here in Seattle, ok, actually Bellevue, but you get the general idea.

Day 19,886
OK, gotta come clean. I forgot to write last night, and the guilt is overwhelming. I could live with myself, but I’m going to invoke my personal “12-hour” clause, which means I’m still within 12 hours of the day I forgot to post, and I’ll get two posts in today. Yesterday was fun. I went …

Day 19,885
Hey! How y’all doing?!?!? So tonight I am posting from a hotel room in Bellevue, Washington, just like I was last night. I started off the day with a couple of great sessions on the state of the Microsoft Certified Trainer program, then a session on Azure networking that I found very informative. The day progressed …

Day 19,884
Hi gang. Old fat grampa Bob dialing into the outside world on a Sunday night in Seattle. It’s about 10:30 back home, 8:30 here, and I’ve got a little room service coming, a salad and a little dessert. Just a snack to get me by til te morning. My flight was decent. Four-hour flights are …
