Hi kids, Grampa Bob back again. What are we going to chat about tonight…hmmm… what do you think about empathy and respect? I’m hoping you live in a world with a hope agenda. Sadly, right now, we’re living in a time where the fear agenda seems to be the priority. Bigots and racists are crawling …

Day 19,735
OK… that was funny. I thought I had a smudge of dirt on m computer screen… not, it was an errant apostrophe. Normally, I write a note to my future grandchildren. Today, I’ll go in a different direction. American Airlines sucks. One of the obnoxious trends that airlines have fallen into in the last few …

Day 19,734
Day 19,734 was a good day. So the last few days have had a couple of challenges. Lower back has been giving me fits. Today I tried something new. Instead of wearing this pair of blue running shoes (can you still call them running shoes when you never run?), I decided to wear my deck …

Day 19,733

Day 19,731
Is that the most important thing we have to worry about right now? Maybe I don’t ask myself that question enough. There are any number of things wrong with the world right now, and in the USA the single most important thing that we apparently must discuss is a bunch of athletes taking a knee …

Day 19,730
OK, so, if you read my post from yesterday, you know that Grampa Bob is at a Microsoft Conference in Orlando. Tonight was supposed to be “The Krewe” Meet and Greet party at some piano bar here closeby. I decided to ditch it because tonight was the debut episode of “Star Trek: Discovery”, and to be …

Day 19,728
Hi kids. Tomorrow, Grandpa Bob has to head off to Orlando, Florida for a conference, the Microsoft Ignite conference (used to be the Microsoft Technet event, but that got renamed and combined with a few other conferences). I’m looking forward to a reunion with my professional peers. Any number of these folks are people with …

Day 19,727
Hi kids, Grampa Bob here again. I’m in a weird mood… and this kind of ties into why I post my blog by “days”. Today is day 19,727 in my life (I probably ought to double check my math one of these times… I’d hate to find out I was projecting weird base-10 anniversaries based …
