Once in every one thousand days, the tally ends in the three numbers… 8 – 0 – 8. This is the day of BOB! OK, I made that up, just kind of reaching for something to talk about. Some days you have to remember that the world doesn’t revolve around you. A world might revolve …

Day 19,807
Hey gang! Hope you are having a great day, no matter who you are. To review, I’m a 54-year-old father of three, married to a wonderful woman who puts up with my bad jokes and lapses in judgment, and I have two little dogs which combine for about fourteen pounds of canine fluff. My primary focus …

Day 19,806
It has been a wonderful day, and now I’m torn between watching an old Star Trek episode, “Catspaw”, written by a member of the Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Robert Bloch, or just going to bed and snuggling up with your grandmother. Yes, old people still do that. Stop smirking. Today we went to the …

Day 19,805
Man, oh, man. It’s starting to get a little dicey out there in the media. So, to get you up to date. Last spring, the acting director of the Justice Department appointed Robert Mueller, former FBI director, to investigate all of the strangeness surrounding the Trump campaign and their ties to Russia. At the time …

Day 19,804
What’s your favorite food? Seriously. If you were going to make a career out of traveling the world looking for the best “something”, what would it be? Breaded pork cutlet? Cheesecake? Chili? I remember reading (and I could be wrong) the author Robert Fulghum (All I Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten) would travel all …

Day 19,803
Well, it’s been a Wednesday. In the most prominent political move today, Trump endeavored to draw attention away from his failure of an administration by announcing that the US will be moving its embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. This is a move that is designed to inflame the Muslim world. This guy …

Day 19,802
Good evening, whoever you are, wherever you are. Today was a bit of a special day. We had the inspection of the new house. Spent a couple of hours checking the outlets, firing up the stove, filling up the bathtub, turning on the showers, looking at the trim, and checking that all of the garage …

Day 19,801
Time to reflect on the day and think about what I did or didn’t do that is worthy of any sort of archive. Not much today, really. Went to the dentist this morning to get my teeth cleaned and get a check-up. I’m not a good person when it comes to going to the dentist …

Day 19,800
Every day we’re getting closer to closing and moving. It’s kind of crazy. I’ve lived in this house longer than I have lived in any house in my life. Obviously, the same goes for all of the kids. Might even be the same situation for my wife, but if it is, I don’t recall her …

Day 19,799
It’s a Saturday night in Lawrence, Gramma has already gone to bed, it’s just about ten o’clock, and the tv is on. It’s going to be a stream of thought kind of night. Right now I am grateful for comprehensive spell-checking, because I have no idea what my bog would look like if I didn’t have something …
