Remember that cousin of mine that I talked about some time ago, the one that was moving here because she apparently likes Nebraska legislature? Well, she’s here and my worst nightmare actually came true – she asked me oh-so-innocently about Nebraska legislature. Which I really did not know about, nor understand. [...]
Those of you who are reading this and are surprised, don’t be. I never said that I was done talking about Nebraska sports, and that’s probably because my brothers (blood related or otherwise) cannot stop themselves from talking about the Nebraska Cornhuskers. My case in point would be this morning, when I [...]
We hit Elkhorn Nebraska next during our game, and I found it amusing that we did considering that Elkhorn isn’t even a city of Douglas County anymore. I remember that much because the Elkhorn Nebraska thing was such a big annexation issue back in 2005, and my parents tend to like talking about big [...]
In an attempt to distract Sammy from the chaos (which now apparently included my father, who has started to threaten everyone with a shotgun if they won’t shut up about who the greatest Nebraska rival really is), I told the boy to ignore grandpa’s shouting and play the game with me. He pouted a [...]
I was hoping that I would be able to let go of the topic of Nebraska and sports and the ensuing arguments, and my sister just had to bring up the subject of Nebraska rivals while we were having a snack with Sammy. And she had to do it in front of my brothers [...]
I realized that lately, I’ve been talking a lot about things that pertain or are related to Nebraska sports. Then again, I really shouldn’t be so surprised. Nebraska sports seem to be an incredibly important part of the culture and pride of the state of Nebraska. Especially among the men in our [...]
After I got Sammy to bed – he really is an angel once you get him to stop vibrating with excitement – I went downstairs and had some coffee with Donna. We hadn’t gotten around to talking all that much, what with her running a business from home and me trying to keep [...]
The city that we hit for the second round of the game (before we could convince Samuel to go to sleep so he wouldn’t be tired tomorrow) took much longer to hit. Forty minutes worth of attempts finally yielded us a city, and I just couldn’t help but be excited over this because [...]
Like I said before, I created a monster in my nephew when I taught him the game, the one that involved the map of Nebraska and a few darts. So obviously, Sammy refused to go to bed until we’ve finished a couple of more rounds of the game before he’s willing to sleep [...]
After I woke up, brushed away the dead warbler that felt like it had been laid to rest on my tongue and nursed my hangover for most of the morning with the aid of my special blend of energy drinks and a greasy breakfast, I finally felt that I am worthy to show my face [...]
