Nebraska Department of Corrections

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

Did I mention that I have a distant cousin that works for the Nebraska Department of Corrections and that his twin brother was committed to the system of the Nebraska Department of corrections? While some people like their wives may not find it funny, my family always mentions off-handedly (during the reunions at the [...]

Nebraska City Ne

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

I know, I’ve already written about Nebraska City Ne. But I just have to talk about Nebraska City Ne because it’s a big news thing here in our family. One of my gay cousins from the mother’s side, who lived here in Lancaster County, had gone off and eloped with one of [...]

Nebraska Population

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

I believe that there are about two million (give or take a few hundred or thousand) individuals that make up the whole of the Nebraska population, and I keep wondering if they mentally number us, and we move up number levels as other individuals die. I mean, I wonder what I citizen number [...]

University of Nebraska Press

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

I wondered over the weekend if I should go and find out if they have job openings at the University of Nebraska Press. After all, as my friend Lily pointed out in out latest conversation (which have trickled down to a weekly event instead of the bi-weekly affair we used to have), I’m [...]

Gretna Nebraska

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

I woke up late Friday night (or was it very early Saturday morning) to find that Sammy had somehow broken into my room wanting to have a round of the Nebraska game because he woke up and couldn’t go back to sleep. Of course, I translated that to “I wet my bed and I [...]

Nebraska Counties

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

Interestingly enough, Sammy decided that he only wanted to play one round of the game today because he wanted to know about Nebraska counties. Mainly, he wanted to know how many Nebraska counties currently exist and which one we happen to be in. I was never more thankful that my mother was there [...]

Wayne Nebraska

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

In order to try and keep my darling nephew from becoming completely and utterly engrossed in Nebraska collegiate sports (at least, in an unhealthy manner), I lured him up to our room to once again play the Nebraska game. To my delight, my mother showed up there with her knitting, eager to see what [...]

Nebraska Cornhusker Football

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

Something incredibly funny happened today. Sammy, who as I’ve said before, has become extremely attached to me, decided that I know all there is to know about life, the universe, and everything, deeming me the one to ask about Nebraska Cornhusker football. And, as you may all well know, I am a fan [...]

Nebraska Voting

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

I was so busy with a lot of things, that I didn’t get to write about this until now. There’s all this hullabaloo about who the next American president would be, and with Nebraska voting as well, I can’t help but wonder how things are going to go. As far as I [...]

Nebraska Game

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

It didn’t occur to me that my mother hasn’t exactly gotten to know about my Nebraska game, the one involving the map and the darts and my nephew being extremely difficult. When Sammy interrupted us in the middle of a conversation to tell me that he’ll be out all day with my father [...]
