Wow. That was a Monday. Got a lot of things done. Met with an insurance adjuster to talk with them about our roof, went over to the roofing company to get our new roof on the schedule. Got a bit more done, and this old dog is weary. And we put an offer on another …

Day 19,786
It’s been a bit of a crazy day around here. OK, I’ll admit this is really kind of bugging me as a sports fan… the Chiefs are really stinking it up right now. They started off 5-0, and have now lost 4 of their last 5, now sitting at 6-4. Still leading the division, but, dang, …

Day 19,785
Hey gang. It’s me. Obligated to get two hundred words in. Today, was a bit weird. Apparently, during the coin toss, KU refused to shake the hand of the OU quarterback, a leading contender for the Heisman Trophy this year. I find that rather curious. Makes me wonder what was said leading up to that. …

Day 19,784
It’s a Friday night here in Larryville, and kids, Grampa is tired again. Kansas is on the TV, playing host to the Jackrabbits of South Dakota State. It is not going well for South Dakota State. Gramma is tired, too, and one of these times I’m going to embed a little video of your grandmother …

Day 19,783
It’s been an interesting day here at the casa. There have been some interesting developments on the political front, of course, but that will all be subject to historical interpretation. Looks like we have a deal on the house. Gramma and I need to get shopping for new digs. Interesting word, “digs”. I guess it …

Day 19,782
Every time I sit down to write a little note to you, who I hope are my future grandchildren, I try to think about writing something meaningful. I want to write something that makes you think, “Hey, ol’d Grampa Bob was kind of interesting. It would be nice just have lunch with him.” I’m not saying …

Day 19,781
It’s Tuesday night, Kansas is playing Kentucky in an early season non-conference matchup, and I have two hundred words to crank out as quickly as possible so I can get back to watching the game. Sessions had to meet before the Judiciary Committee today. It was a little ugly. Had to get an estimate on getting …

Day 19,780
Hello, my future grandchildren. It’s been an interesting day in the world. Where should I begin? Looks like a fifth accuser has come out discussing her experience being molested by Alabama judge (twice removed from the bench) Roy Moore. Looks like he was also banned from an area shopping mall in the 80’s for creeping out …

Day 19,779
My mind is all over the place tonight. There are people arguing over on Facebook over the quality of their material possession. I’ve got two wankers showing off pictures of their motorcycles and their four-by-fours thinking that they are settling some sort of argument. Weird from my perspective. People have their most valuable persona; possessions …

Day 19,778
Hello, once again, to my future grandchildren. Grampa is a bit pissed off tonight, so I thought I should add a little disclaimer before I went off on my two hundred word rant about the CiC. (To military folks, that means “Commander in Chief”. For me, it means “Cheeto in Charge). The man sitting in the …
