It is Tuesday morning, 21 March 2023, and spring hasn’t entirely sprung yet, but the wild onions in the yard are peaking up a little higher than anything else that’s green. Pretty soon here it will be time to get the mower, tractor, and gator ready to roll around the property and get some lawn …

Day 21,728

It is Monday, 13 March 2023. It has been a rather eventful weekend around Lawrence, Kansas, as well as other parts of the world. I’m a basketball fan, as I have shared in the past. Kansas did not have a great weekend, as they fell in the Big 12 post-season tournament to Texas. Bill Self, …
