Somedays you have a hard time, struggling to come up with a decent idea for a blog entry. Today was a bit of the opposite. (And my youngest daughter just popped into the office to chat, and I lost complete track of what I was going to blog about) I thought about a blog entry …

Day 19,676
I was thinking earlier today about the way certain people describe situations, people, events, and how they add adjectives. I was thinking how odd it is that one prominent person in the US government uses superlatives as descriptors at every opportunity. Things in his mind’s eye are always the best or the worst or something …

Day 19.675
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 …

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 …
