Where Vernon J BREAKS his news
The first year was critical to my assessment of myself as a person. It forced me to realize that, like being married, having children is not an end in itself. You don’t at last arrive at being a parent and suddenly feel satisfied and joyful. It is a constantly reopening adventure.

I brought 3 mittens today.
Good Morning & Happy FNP!
I needed to stop by the bank this morning, so I had a little something extra to do. Although I left my name tag at home.
Today is Friday 02/28/V3.4 & it is the last day of the month, the first Fish Fry, & UNO Hockey Day!!! GO MAVS!!
Yesterday’s Spaghetti linguine & Meatballs was good. I thought I had the S, but I had the L. You didn’t hear any complaints (& there were non) from me. I LOVE my cook.
So have you heard of The International Association of Vernon J is Funny of Omaha? They decide if Vernon J’s are funny or not. They said I was funny, take that Danielle. 😛
Has this been an exciting week or what?
The word of the day is aubade which is a song greeting the dawn.
Well sunrise isn’t until 0700 49 mins away. I don’t know what aubade I’ll be listening to at that time. BUT right now Miley Cyrus is Wrecking that Ball.
I can say I’m riding all night long.

Stuff a cold and starve a cold are but two ways. They are the two practices, both always in full blast. Yet you must take the advice of the one school as if there was no other.

Today is Thursday 02/27/V3.4 & it is the eve of the last day of February. Maybe the #FNP will arrive today.
Yesterday was a good day. Decided to make a surprise visit to Jason’s Deli, I had the Sweet Potato & Pork soup. It was a good decision. For Dinner I had my Sausage & Peppers that I made this week, went to Bag ‘N Save & got fresh potato wedges. NOW that’s good eating. Tonight for dinner there will be Spaghetti & Meatballs. Looking forward to that, I’ve extended 1 invitation as of right now. I won’t name names, but there is like a 95% chance it wasn’t you. IF it was you and you are reading this, why haven’t you responded. Vernon J needs to know, thanks.
Tomorrow is the 1st Fish fry of the season & the first fish fry of my life (that I can remember).
Saturday is Hockey & just maybe I can convincethe other members of Team Vernon J to go out for karaoke. I’ve just been singing this morning & having fun doing it.
The word of the day is deipnosophist which is a person who is an adept conversationalist at a table. The following is just for men, it could apply to the ladies. If a person (in a romantic relationship) uses 14 minutes of a 15 minute conversation. They could be crazy. I didn’t say it, just heard it.
Sunday is church & NASCAR. They are not equal, but they will both be done.
I think that is it for now.
As always follow Vernon J on twitter for the daily happenings thoughout the day.
I would sum up my fear about the future in one word: boring. And that’s my one fear: that everything has happened; nothing exciting or new or interesting is ever going to happen again … the future is just going to be a vast, conforming suburb of the soul.

Good Morning & Happy Wednesday,
BUT I want to drive.
Today is Wednesday02/26/V3.4 & it is my long day.
So yesterday was great, I got my new corrective lenses. You can see photos here, I also went and saw Robocop. It was a fantastic movie, a new take on the classic.
I guess if you haven’t seen the first you wouldn’t know what I’m talking about.
It was definitively a well done job. I think it is an Oscar Contender for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, & Best Supporting Actress.
Your move Academy of crap that is totally worthless to me I don’t actually care about.
The meeting at the hotel was good, fun times that to Spencer and TJ. No you wouldn’t have missed it if you weren’t there. What you don’t follow us on twitter? Guess you should. Vernon J Omaha (Vernon_J_) on Twitter,Spencer Head (Spencer_Head) on Twitter, & TJ Ewin (TJEwin) on Twitter. All Great Guys to follow, sorry ladies but Spencer is married.
The word of the day is fusty which is old-fashioned or out-of-date. There isn’t anything wrong with being fusty, it has worked all those years. Probably about time we have a little fusty going around.
I was thinking as I was heading home last night that Saturday is MY Saturday. I don’t have to do anything that isn’t fun, exciting, or professionally related. I’m going to the UNO Hockey Game. The Colorado College Tigers come into town, now that’s my kinda fun. Look for a pre-game notes either today or tomorrow from Omaha Athletics.
I hope you have a fantastic day, make it your own.

SO DON’T BELIEVE THEM!!!!
Even assuming the possibility of greater knowledge among responsive young children of a mass media age, it is questionable whether an increase in verbal knowledge and expression has much effect on the capacity for understanding in depth or on the style of behavior of children with no more than five years of living and growing behind them…. The drawings of contemporary fives are no more complex, the capacity for judgment no sharper, the feelings of helplessness when they get sick or into trouble no less painful than they have ever been, as far as we know.

The word of the day is sciamachy which is an act or instance of fighting a shadow or an imaginary enemy.
Have a fantastic day.
