It’s been an interesting day, kids. One of the things I do from time to time is drive people from Point A to Point B. It gets me out of the house, and I make a little pocket change to buy the occasional doodad. So, earlier tonight, I picked up a bunch of young ladies, …

Day 19,720
Puzzles. Hi kids, Grampa Bob here. What kind of puzzles do you like? I’ve often found myself fascinated by puzzles. Some I love to tackle. Others, I run away as quick as my legs can carry me… but enough about the Rubik’s Cube. There are the old nail puzzles, and other old style “farm” puzzles …

Day 19,719
Hey, how are you doing tonight, my future descendants. I’m sitting here, just kind of kicking back on a Wednesday night, watching a little tube. I’ll be heading upstairs in a few minutes to read a bit more. I’ve found a nifty little application, or maybe a combination of applications that help me deal with …

Day 19,718
Hi kids! Grampa likes snacks. Seriously. As I sit here watching one of my favorite TV shows, “Forged in Fire” your grandmother is making one of the family’s favorite snacks, Chex Mix, with that savory smell that fills the room and knocks me off my feet. And now she’s taken the whole batch and gone …

Day 19,717
Hi kids. Grampa Bob here. Today is September 11, 2017. Today is the 16th anniversary of one of the darkest days in US history. To put things in perspective, I used to teach regularly in New York City, at One Liberty Plaza right across the street from the old World Trade Center towers. I’d teach …

Day 19,715
Hi kids, Grampa Bob here writing on a Friday night. Just kind of kicking it on a Friday night, watching a replay of last night’s football game. Tomorrow will be interesting. Kansas has a home game against Central Michigan at 3:00. Dane has some marching band event that requires him to be over to Lawrence …

Hello family members, and anyone else that comes across my blog. It’s Thursday night, and I’m watching the Kansas City Chiefs playing at the New England Patriots for the first NFL game of the season. My team is not having a very good game tonight from a penalty perspective. They’re currently down 3 points late …

Day 19,713
Hey! My grandkids! Maybe some great grandkids! Maybe some obscure backup operator at a web hosting service! I hope this isn’t as boring as I’m afraid it could be. Seriously. I’m a 53-year-old man (almost 54) writing things down for grandchildren that may not ever exist. But I’m an optimist. At least one of my …

Day 19,712
Hello, young people that I have yet to meet. One of the things I would love to talk with you about is putting up with stupid ideas. Don’t. If you have the experience, have performed the research, have eliminated the differing position, and have done so while considering most of the variables, speak up. You …
