Day 20,687
For the life of me, I have no idea why any company, in the post-“Breaking Bad” era, would ever choose to use the song “Crystal Blue Persuasion”, by Tommy James and the Shondells, was ever a good idea. It’s a Wednesday night in rural DOuglas COunty, and Bubba has a little writing to do. Last …

Day 20,685
It’s a Monday night in rural Douglas County, and I am weary. It has been a busy day with meetings and preparation for my class stating tomorrow. I’ve got about twenty students, and it’s an introductory administration course that I’ve had some involvement with for awhile. I’m confident of a positive delivery. I’m watching a …

Day 20,684
Good evening, my future grandchildren, it’s old Grampa Bob talking about my day. Nothing too interesting, but that’s the way it’s going to be some days. It’s been a day. A Sunday in May of 2020, the first Sunday of the month, a week before Mother’s Day. People are still dying of the coronavirus, and …

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 …

Day 20,653
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 …
