How the hell are ya? from Sidney
Ok, enough people have harassed me about not keeping the old blog up to date (I'm looking at you Fred and Stephanie), so I thought I'd jot down a quick note or two.
First of all, I'm dying to see how the democrats are going to fuck up this election in the last 3 weeks. It's nearly in the bag, but I know that our boys are the most effective group of people ever at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. It's just a matter of time... that train's never late!
Second, football season's over. As you probably know, both of my strapping young lads quit football about 2 weeks into the season, so I was a coach without a kid. Even so, I had a great time, and the team did really well. The last game of the season was a nail-biter with us down 2-0 with about 1 minute left to play.
We brought in Crazy-Legs Linneman who ran the ball about 30 yards, and broke about 5 tackles, for the game winning touchdown. It was a beautiful sight!
Our defense was spectacular allowing (I believe) only one first-down the whole game. The only time the other team scored was on a safety because our QB wasn't aware that he had to stay on the other side of the goal line.
It ended up being a blessing in disguise because had they taken over on downs, they probably would have gotten the touchdown being just yards away to begin with.
In other news, I've let my manager know that I'm actively seeking employment outside the company, so there's a good chance that we'll be leaving Sidney sometime in the near future.
(Naturally, Suzanne is stoked since she never really warmed up to the place... More like "hates it with a burning passion"...)
I don't want to jinx anything, but I've got some good leads and some good friends back in Omaha helping out. If I were a betting man, I'd like our odds.
That's about all I have for now... I'm currently watching this most recent presidential "debate". Poor McCain looks like he's sitting on something really uncomfortable and whenever he talks there's an edge of desperation to his tone - much to my delight.
I have nothing against the guy, I'm just a true believer of Barack. I honestly believe that he's our only hope - not unlike Obi Wan Kenobe in that regard.
P.S. Buy my house!

That's more like it - welcome back!
Any chance of you buying back your old house? With the economy the way it is, the guy that bought it is probably dying to get rid of it. Maybe you can "trade" houses with someone looking to move to Sidney.
You know I rather like that idea. I really liked the old house :-D.
And I'm sure there is a part of Suzanne that misses it and plus all the work you'd have to put into the house is already done. It's a win win for everyone. You don't have to listen to Suzanne bitch about having to fix a new house and well she wouldn't need to bitch about it... I'm sure she'll find something because that's how we girls are but still.
Anywho, congrates on your last game, glad to hear you enjoyed yourself.
P.S. I bug you because your blog is the only non school related stuff I read.
On the political note, I would like to state that I too am an Omabanite and have already cast my ballot's voice in his favor. 'Tis a beautiful thing that Nebraska opened up their polls on the 29th of September for all to vote early (and often, like me). Good luck with the house sale and hurry the Hell up and get back here.
