I have had a bad month. I have not written, and even today, I’m going to take the easy way out. I’m working a lot, with classes moving to an online delivery environment. I’m actually spending more time in class now than I did when I was traveling. I am going to copy in a …

Hang on, I better get a fresh cup of coffee before I dive into this effort. OK, that’s better. Medium roast Tanzanian peaberry. OK, let’s start off with the reality of the day. Coronavirus and COVID-19 are still in play, and everyone has been asked to continue social distancing, and there is a “stay at …

Day 20,657
It’s a Monday afternoon. Tomorrow I’ll be back in front of the Microphone, teaching for a group of folks in Iowa, doing what I do. This is my new normal, and I’m OK with that… for now. Someday, I’ll get back out on the road, but for now, virtual instructor-led training is the flavor of …

OK, so here we go. It’s been a few days since I last wrote. Bonnie and Dane have moved home. Lisa and I are working, teaching from home. The dogs seem to really like the fact that there are humans around all of the time, so , I’m going to guess, it will be a …

Good evening everyone. It’s old fat Grampa Bob, back once again after a bit of a writing hiatus to deal with the reality of our world today. So, I’ve mentioned it a few times, and I want to bring it up again. We are in a state of isolation as we address the issue of …

Day 20,635
Let’s have a little chat today about sources and fact checking. I’ll be the first to admit that there have been times that I have posted inaccurate information on the internet. Example – I posted a statement about the NSA deleting their group/team/task force that had the purpose of preparing the US for a pandemic. …

Hi everybody. It’s been five days since my last post. It’s been a rough few days. The coronavirus has led to an outbreak of COVID 19 around the world, and although it hasn’t affected anybody in my family, I have coworkers that have been tested positive, and at least one person n Kansas has died. …

Day 20,629
It’s been a few days since my last post, and I’m fighting the end of winter, just before spring blues. A combination of road weariness and cabin fever. I’m just in a weird place right now. I know I made a pledge to write, but for one reason or another, the words just aren’t coming. …

Day 20,625
OK, there’s a lot of stuff going around about COVID 19. This is (allegedly) from the WHO. I’m reposting this for the value of the info, the timeliness, and, selfishly, to pad my word count for the month of March. The WHO sent 25 international experts to China and here are their main findings after …
