Let me take quick little inventory of time and place. According to my calendar, it’s November 25, 2017, the first Saturday after Thanksgiving, and I’m writing a little note to my future grandchildren about the state of the day. KU finished their football season today, getting crushed by Oklahoma State on the road by a …

Day 19,791
OK… it’s the day after Thanksgiving. Here at Casa del Bobster, we typically have our own Thanksgiving the day after the Thanksgiving gathering in Clay Center for any number of reasons, the primary reason being that we like to have our own batch of leftovers to rummage through after the holiday. If there is one …

Day 19,790
Greetings to any and all that decided to inflict my blog entry upon themselves today. It is Thanksgiving, the 54th Thanksgiving I have enjoyed on this planet. It was an experience. I worry about some things, like the health of my dad. It’s hard to see some of his physical struggles. The man is 75 …

Day 19,789
It’s been a day. Crazy day. Looks like Gramma and I are buying a house. Crazy, exciting change that will affect my three kids directly, might influence the next generation as well when they come to visit Grampa Bob and Gramma Lisa at their new digs. I look forward to welcoming our friends into our new …

Day 19,788
Hello, future! Eh. That sounds a little weird. I don’t think I’ll use that opening anymore. Greetings from the past, future descendants! Boy… that sounds a little stuffy. Nevertheless, here we are. Paperwork signed and filed. Now the back and forth begins until we settle on a price and a closing date. As of today, …

Day 19,786
It’s been a bit of a crazy day around here. OK, I’ll admit this is really kind of bugging me as a sports fan… the Chiefs are really stinking it up right now. They started off 5-0, and have now lost 4 of their last 5, now sitting at 6-4. Still leading the division, but, dang, …

Day 19,785
Hey gang. It’s me. Obligated to get two hundred words in. Today, was a bit weird. Apparently, during the coin toss, KU refused to shake the hand of the OU quarterback, a leading contender for the Heisman Trophy this year. I find that rather curious. Makes me wonder what was said leading up to that. …

Day 19,784
It’s a Friday night here in Larryville, and kids, Grampa is tired again. Kansas is on the TV, playing host to the Jackrabbits of South Dakota State. It is not going well for South Dakota State. Gramma is tired, too, and one of these times I’m going to embed a little video of your grandmother …

Day 19,783
It’s been an interesting day here at the casa. There have been some interesting developments on the political front, of course, but that will all be subject to historical interpretation. Looks like we have a deal on the house. Gramma and I need to get shopping for new digs. Interesting word, “digs”. I guess it …
