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 …

Tomorrow is President’s Day. Here’s George Washington’s Farewell Address. 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, …

Day 20,607
I just noticed that I am on the verge of my one-thousandth blog post. That’s a pretty amazing achievement for me. When I started this almost three years ago, I had no idea how long I would be able to maintain a 200 word-per-day pace, but I’ve done OK. I made the decision to focus …

Day 20,606
If my may math is right (and it is frequently wrong), this is my 20,606 day of existence outside my mother’s womb. I am 56 years old, and am currently an employee of a great company, the husband of the most wonderful wife a guy could ever hope for, and the father of three kids …

Day 20,604
Every now and then you have to give yourself a bit of a check up from the neck up. Where is your mind? How are you doing with your empathy? What personal factors affect your decision making processes? I am guilty of some negative thoughts in my life. I’m a bit older and a number …
