OK, so here’s a little idea that I ought to share. Get yourself a little notebook. I have a little black one that fits in my back pocket, and can also easily fit into the pocket of a couple of my jackets and hoodies. Keep a pen handy. These can be important because as you’re …

Day 19,897
OK! It’s Saturday night! In the background, I can hear the ACC tournament championship game going on between Virginia and North Carolina. KU played earlier this evening and came out victorious over West Virginia, 81-11. I do love this time of year. A friend came over to watch the game tonight, and Gracie had a …

Day 19,896
Another day in the books. Kansas won another basketball game, and neither team was at full strength. Dok was still out for Kansas, and Dean Wade aggravated a toe injury for the Wildcats. Compound that loss with an injury to a KSU starting guard early in the game, and KU had an opportunity to control …

Day 19,895
I’m having one of those days. I’ve spent a pretty fair portion of the day watching college basketball, and my team one, so all of the other games were just means to fill the time until bedtime. But, KU won. I was worried going into that game. Kansas had all sorts of problems with Oklahoma …

Hi gang! The Big 12 Tournament is underway in Kansas City, and it looks like Kansas will be facing Oklahoma State for the third time this season at 1:30 tomorrow afternoon.

Day 19,892
I have to figure out where my bandwidth is going. My current contract allows for an ungoverned download quota of 50 gigabytes per month. I have twenty-two days left in my service period and we’ve already munched through half of our allocated bandwidth for the month, and I was gone all of last week. We …

Day 19,891
OK. For those of you that are reading my blog for the first time, a note. A while back I started writing my blog with the intent of providing a bit of a chronicle for the grandchildren I expect to have one day. I read an interesting meme today. The topic was the Puckle Gun, …

Day 19,890
I am happy to be home. OK, for those of you that are completely oblivious to the editing process, I just made a change to one word in the opening line that allowed the sentence to make more sense. If I had left it alone, it would have been hilarious. I’ll let y’all speculate. I …

Day 19,889
Hey gang. I hope things are well with you. Today was the last day I spent with my professional friends here in Seattle, ok, actually Bellevue, but you get the general idea. In your lives, you are going to have opportunities to be part of professional organizations. You’ll have friends, colleagues, at your workplace if …
