It’s a Wednesday night in rural Douglas County, and I’m counting my monthly words. I figure right now I need to write eight hundred words between now and Saturday, so that means two hundred and sixty seven words today, and then two more entries over the next three days to get me to my pledge …

Day 20,523
Yeah, it’s late. It’s a Monday night, and I’m in a good mood, as Kansas worked their way into the next round of the Maui Invitational, which means they have a game tomorrow night. On that note, let it be known to all readers far and wide that I’m good. I could fill up a …

Day 20,522
Today I closed out the day with good news and a reacquaintment with an old friend. Lisa and I got up this morning to a sunny and brisk Sunday morning, with black coffee (Tanzanian Peaberry, medium roast) and omelets (the ream cheese made the meal). After the breaking of the fast and another cup of …

Day 20,521
OK, a short post tonight before I head off to bed. It’s been a good day. Started off with me getting into bed at 1:00 in the morning, going back to the airport late in the morning to pick up the Bonnie monster. Tonight is just one of those nights. It also contains muscles that …

Day 20,520
It’s a Friday afternoon, and we’re doing a few labs here in Cambridge. I’ve got a while before I have to worry about a couple of business related activities, a check-in with my manager, and a flight back home to enjoy a Thanksgiving holiday break with family. I’ve enjoyed my time here. Granted, I’ve spent …

Day 20,518
OK, it’s Wednesday night, and I’m one day closer to going home. Nothing against the beauty and history of Cambridge, Massachusetts, but I’m ready for another week at home. I spoke with my wife and oldest daughter today. Bonnie is ready to come home as well, if only for Thanksgiving. She’ll get a little break …

Day 20,517
It’s a Tuesday night, a late night, and to be honest, a bit of a rough day. Had a kid involved in a minor moving vehicle scrape, and then a minor revelation on top of it. I’m a little under it on this matter. As a parent, you want to do everything in your power …

Day 20,516
It’s a Monday night in Cambridge, Mass, and I’m tired. The Chiefs are holding their own against the Los Angeles Chargers (it’s still weird as hell saying that) and the defense has actually shown up and represented than the vaunted Chiefs offense has most of the night. The thing that has reared it’s ugly head …

Day 20,515
It’s a brisk Sunday evening on the east coast, and I am sitting in my hotel room writing a blog entry while I watch the HBO series “The Watchmen”. I’ve got a delivery tomorrow with some fine folks here in the outskirts of Boston, and I’ve got a couple of small tasks to take care …
