It’s been a pretty wild day here in the household, for more than a few reasons. Started off with a snow day, the weather was going to get nasty, especially later in the day, with snow and sleet moving through and turning the highways into ice rinks. I am grateful that the drivers of the …

Day 19,837
Tuesday night here at Casa del Bobster, the home I’ve lived in longer than anyplace else I’ve ever lived in my life. And we move next week. It’s still weird to think about. But, it is necessary. The new house has more space. The new house has a place for me to go to get …

Day 19,836
It’s about 9:22 PM, and I just dialed the tv in to watch the national championship college football game between Alabama and Georgia. At the beginning of the second half, Georgia is up 13-0. Had a pretty good day with my first day of my Office 365 class. Small group, three students, two of which …

Hey kids, Old Grampa Bob here writing on a Sunday night, the seventh day of the new year, two thousand and seventeen. OK, so my pledge is to write two hundred words per day, and spelling out ‘two hundred’ counts for more words than ‘200’. So sue me. It’s been a little bit of a …

Day 19,833
Hey kids, fat old Grampa Bob here. It’s getting weird. I hope you don’t have to move very often growing up, but you just never know. There might be very good reasons why you have to move and make that big change, and when you’re the kid, you don’t get much say in the whole …

Day 19,832
Another day has passed, and I’m sitting here with Freya ( I hope you have a Freya in your life, too), while I take a few minutes and recap the day. I don’t know what type of transportation system y’all will have to deal with at the time you’re reading my notes, but here’s my speculation. Most of …

Day 91,831
Hey, my descendants! What’s shakin’? It is the third day of the year 2018. I had a productive day. Spend the morning getting your relative’s car (uncle? father? grandfather?) to the shop to get the oil changed on it. After that, we addressed some of the issues of the day, including a visit to the …

Day 19,830
Hi future grandkids, it’s old fat Grampa Bob here. Did quite a bit of running around today, making changes here and there in anticipation of the pending family move in a scant few weeks. We’re packing, making preparations for our various utilities to get transferred to the place, setting up electricity, water, trash, gas, all …
