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 […]
So Sammy refused to eat his breakfast until I played the game with him – it seems I’ve created a monster – and his mother had just given up and told me that I should either wean him out of it or indulge him. So like the cool aunt that I intend to […]
I spent most of the afternoon yesterday (because I was forbidden to use my computer) trying to find the proper Nebraska zip code of different Nebraska areas and cities. Before you roll your eyes at that, let me explain: this was all brought about by Bricks, who had said he’s moving to Sarpy County. […]
I woke up yesterday morning with a little boy bouncing on my bed. He was holding a dart. I don’t know how Sammy got a hold of that, but let’s just say I was banned from my computer because Sammy got his hands on my scary implement of road trip planning. Still, […]
I was actually falling asleep when I realized that in one of my previous posts I had mentioned Papillion Nebraska and had forgotten to write about that city. Granted, I didn’t come about with that name via the GAME (the one that involves the map and the dart, and more recently, Sammy). […]
I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t get back to sleep again. So I decided to pick up a dart and dabble with the map again – after all, it’s a very productive way of spending a sleepless night. So I threw the dart, and for the first time […]
In an attempt to save my nephew from the football fever of the people around him, I snuck Sammy up to my favorite room and got him to help me with my game. I handed him the dart and he threw it at the map. I swear, this kid has an arm […]
Given that I just got back from that pseudo-road trip around Lancaster County, I’m more pumped up than ever to turn that real Nebraska road trip that I keep dreaming about into a reality. I don’t think I’ll be able to take it if the road trip that never happens, never does happen. […]
