It is Mothers’ Day, May 8, 2022. I took a little time earlier today to make the trip to Clay Center, Kansas, to see my mom, and got the additional benefit of seeing my brother and my sister, and her family, as well as extended family member, Bryan. We had barbecue, watched a little baseball, …

Day 21,418
It is Saturday, May 7, and it’s been a longer day. Not that there was one thing that took up the majority of the day, but just a series of activities spread out over a day that just sort of ate things up. Tomorrow is Mother’s Day, and there will be travel. I haven’t seen …

Day 21,417
It is Friday, May 6, 2022, and let’s get out a “whoop, whoop” for surviving another work week. (Well, most of a workweek… I still have to get through to 5 o’clock). Yesterday we received a quote to get Bob Ross removed from the backyard, my globe willow that split April 29 during the wind …

Day 21,416
It is Thursday morning, the fifth day of May 2022. Today, some folks will be celebrating Cinco de Mayo, which, in the United States, is another excuse to drink beer. But my people won’t be celebrating Cinco de Mayo… my people have something more important to focus on. My people are Star Trek fans. Today, …

It is Wednesday morning, May the 4th… and May the Fourth be with you. Yeah, this day has been adopted by the Star Wars fans, and why not? Stepping away from the subtle religious nod to the Jedi, all you’re really doing is saying, “I hope the universe grants you a little grace, today”. I’ll …

It is Tuesday morning, May the 3rd, 2022. I’ll be kicking off my class in about another hour and a half, so I thought I’d ponder the day for a moment before I get going in earnest. Overnight there was some big news. Apparently, there has been a leak in the Supreme Court, and a …

It is a gray Monday, May 2. Thanks for opening up this post and giving it a look. I’m feeling grateful today. I think about what’s going right in my life, and I have so much to be thankful for. My health seems OK. My wife’s health seems OK. The kids are alright, and at …

Day 21,412
It is Sunday, well, heck, it’s Sunday night, and I’m writing about as late in the evening as I’ve written in quite some time. So, the date is May 1 in the Year of Our Lord 2022. My wife and I have had a good day, with a solid breakfast to start, church online (still …

Day 21,411
It is Saturday morning, April 30, and I’m going to start off with an apology. I forgot to write my blog entry yesterday. Thursday night was a nice evening with my spouse at a reception, yesterday was a flurry of frog-eating and meetings that tied me up so much that I didn’t even notice the …

Day 21,409
Good afternoon, whereever and whenever you might be. I am writing this in the afternoon of April 28, 2022, and it is Thursday. The sun is out, the wind is blowing lightly, and my weather station says it is 71 degrees outside. I’ve got five sleeping dogs in the room, with soft music coming from …
