It’s been a real struggle this past week trying to write regularly. The motivation just hasn’t been there. I had a week off the road, and I just focused on the other work stuff that I needed to attend to, and I also focused on some family stuff, too. My head is in kind of …

The Real Day 20,616
You would think that I would do a better job keeping track of the days I’ve lived on this mortal plane, especially thinking about my anxiety and fears about turning 57. I’m not going there tonight. On that note, I am quite impressed with the feel of this keyboard, the Logitech MX Keys. I’ve been …

Day 20,615 (no, really!)
OK, part of my motivation for writing tonight has to do with getting a new keyboard for home and on the road. I just picked up the Logitech MX Keys, a nice bluetooth keyboard, full-size yet still with a compactness to it. It will connect to three different devices, and it is currently charging off …

Day 20,614 redux
Still trying to map my current reality to my numbering mistake on my blog post. Oh, well. I’m pondering some political crap again, and I’m thinking about an analogy. I’m looking at our country like a ship at sea, with a large number of people on it. If most people are in the middle of …

Day 20,613 (yeah, I messed up)
I could never make it as an accountant. It’s kind of funny that a guy can update a blog on a pretty regular basis, and still screw up the number of days he’s been alive on this planet. My last post was on Sunday, it is now the following Saturday, and to be honest, I …

September 19, 1796 Friends and Fellow Citizens: The period for a new election of a citizen to administer the Executive Government of the United States being not far distant, and the time actually arrived when your thoughts must be employed in designating the person who is …

Day 20,614
I just get settled in to do a little writing, and then my phone starts up, playing the ringtone, and the one thought running through my head is “I really need to pick a better ringtone”. Because that was the ringtone better suited to… well… not me. Hello world, how ya doin’? Something I used …

Day 20,612
Demons. I’m thinking about them a bit. I kind of like them as the big, bad, evil guy in a story. A friend of min wrote a funny tale about a guy summoning the wrong demon a few years back, Bob Simms, and his book. “The Young Demon Keeper”. I’m thinking about other issues involving …

Day 20,611
It’s a Tuesday night, and I forgot to write last night. OK, maybe I should stop and check myself on that part – I wrote last night, but it was in a different project. The words I wrote don’t really count against my pledge, so I am behind, but the words I got in yesterday …

Day 20,609
It’s a Sunday night in rural Douglas County, and all is quiet in the neighborhood. No sports today, just a pretty quiet day here at Casa del Bobster. We kept pretty busy with just the basic duties of the day, had the kids come around the house, Dane for lunch, and Gracie for dinner. Tomorrow, …
