My wrist still hurts, and I really don’t feel like writing, but write I must. And for good reason. My mom shared a little something with me today. She’s been keeping a journal, too. Earliest entries from 23 years ago. Memories important enough that she took the time to write them down. Memories that she …

Day 19,674
OK, a bit of a recap. The runners people put down as decorative floor coverings can kill a human being. I got lucky today, only catching my rear foot while I was stepping over it, and proceeding to kiss my chin off an appliance. Tried to catch myself on the way down. Now I have …

Day 19,673
I have pledged to write two hundred words as part of my #WriteChain pledge. Two. Hundred. Words. I suppose I could phone it in and call that “technically” good. I’m just not into it tonight. I could end up writing two hundred words about my lack of ambition and motivation. I don’t think Reince Priebus …

Day 19,672
Summer school is winding down here at the house. Lisa is done grading her finals, and tomorrow Bonnie and Gracie close out their classes for the summer. I know they will all be happy for the short break between summer and fall semesters. I’ve got one more day in class, doing labs with my one …

Day 19,671
It’s been a busy day around here. Had a new washer and dryer installed this morning. We’ve been washing clothes all day. The dryer makes a little music when the load is done. I’m back teaching in Leawood today after the power was restored to the classroom. Covered 5 modules of lecture, slides and demos. That’s …

Day 19,670
Hey everybody… strange as it is, saying “Hello” to whoever actually reads my drivel. Might only be me… might be a few more. Hi Bob! Hi everybody else! I’m reminded of the old Romper Room children’s TV show from back in the day. I first became aware of the show when I was three or …

Day 19,669
Some Mondays are more Monday-er than other Mondays. My Ruby’s back in the shop looks like the air conditioning is on the fritz, and that was the reason the check engine light came on. Sadly, my guys couldn’t get the car in until later Monday afternoon, so I wasn’t able to pick her up tonight …

Day 19,668
Hope I have my number count right. Today was a fun day. my youngest daughter’s 19th birthday. Gracie definitely lives this day on her terms, so either get on the bus, or get out of the way. Tomorrow, back to the classroom, teaching Skype for Business. I think I only have one student, but I …

Day 19,667
We’re having an interesting night in Lawrence, Kansas, folks. Lightning, lightning, and more lightning. Makes the 4th of July look like a wannabe. I do find the weather fascinating. Cold fronts meeting warm fronts, and the storms take over from there. I’ve lived in Kansas most of my life. Let me tell you, there are …

Day 19,666
What a day. Started off trying to get a few things squared away… I’m still waiting on a couple of return phone calls. Drove a little Uber around lunch time… until the check engine light came on in my Flex. Oh, Ruby! Why do you hate me so! Took Dane to the movies a little …
