I’ve never been convinced that experience is linear, circular, or even random. It just is. I try to put it in some kind of order to extract meaning from it, to bring meaning to it.

Good Morning & Happy Monday,
I always enjoy going outside on a brand new day. Starting with a greatness that is unchallenged by anything.
Today is Monday 02/24/V3.4 & it is Jenny’s & Nidhi’s Birthday. Happy Birthday Ladies.
Well my day also started out great with breakfast, waffles, bacon, eggs, Hiland Dairy’s 2% MIlk, and a 100% Fruit Smoothie. I made everything except the milk, it came that way from the local store.
As I was walking to the bus, I was thinking there is something I needed to do. Don’t really know what that thing is, but if it is important I will do it.
Well yesterday I didn’t do a blog entry, hope you didn’t miss it. I also didn’t see the finish of the 500, as it was rained delayed & it was my bed time. I figured that the winner would have already won the race at least once. NO I didn’t post that before right now, because it came to me when I was in bed. Once bedtime comes, bedtime stays, I’m not getting out of it until 0413 or 0400 as I did today.
The word of the day is malinger, which is to pretend illness especially in order to shirk one’s duty, avoid work, etc. I almost did that yesterday
, but my roommate called me out for doing it. NOT that I would deny the fact that I took a picture with my band-aid on to illicit some sympathy. I did give myself a shot & it did hurt.
Well the weekend was good, we all behaved ourselves in Norfolk, except for the people who left the meeting early. Which means we couldn’t endorse candidates, although there is 1 that I know at least 2 people didn’t want to endorse. I can’t tell you who they are, cause I don’t know one of their names, not that they would want me to tell you anyways.
I had the pleasure of speaking with the Next Governor & US Senator from Nebraska. I don’t know who that will be and I don’t know who I will be voting for at this point in time. But I can guarantee that person will be a Republican and will have my support on November 4th, 2014.
I am also happy to say that I will be voting for Brian on May 13th. Brian Buescher for Attorney General, I will also be voting for Merv on May 13th Welcome | Merv Riepe for Legislature.
Got back Saturday Night and just relaxed, read my book, and went to bed.
Friday we went out for a few pints, I think I had 2 & was still home by 1915. Don’t make me get crazy, it was a fun time though. Next week the Fish Fry starts, so Melissa I won’t be going to the Friday UNO Hockey game. Maybe next year we’ll go to one, I’m thinking about getting season tickets.
Have a great day. This entry is now 535 words.
For all the injustices in our past and our present, we have to believe that in the free exchange of ideas, justice will prevail over injustice, tolerance over intolerance and progress over reaction.

Imitation, if it is not forgery, is a fine thing. It stems from a generous impulse, and a realistic sense of what can and cannot be done.

Good Morning & Happy Saturday,
The NEGOP State Central Committee Meeting is today.
Today is Saturday 02/22/V3.4 & it is a difference day.
So we hit the road about 7 from Omaha, made it to Norfolk safe and sound. The meeting starts at sometime after right now.
So I’ll be doing that all day today, no big plans other than that.
Get home and be home.
The word of the day is razz which is to deride; make fun of; tease.
Friday was a fantastic day and time. Went to work, got some new sheets. Had a few with the boys.
What are you doing today?
what did you do yesterday?
So there are 4 things, only 2 can happen in a certain time frame.
Speech belongs half to the speaker, half to the listener. The latter must prepare to receive it according to the motion it takes.

Someone isn’t reading my blog
Wait, is this song about pants?
Good Morning & Happy Friday,
YES, you read that right. There is a song about pants. Walker Hayes – Pants – YouTube
Today is Friday 02/21/V3.4 & it is a great day to dance while waiting for the bus. At least that is what Vernon J did, I see no reason why can’t do it. I know you can.
Last night was great, the Budweiser Duels was fun to watch. I had to explain NASCAR to Tina. She didn’t understand, but our co-workers did. She’s a NASCAR fan too, we just get it. I was feeling a little under the umbrella after work, but I’m fine this morning.
I was concerned about not making it out to the moon, well that isn’t a concern of mines anymore. I’ve got the necessary tools to make this happen. So I’ll see you there?
The word of the day is toothsome which is pleasing to the taste; palatable: a toothsome dish.
After work/Before Crescent Moon I’ll be buying some sheets. One of my sets of sheets got a hole in them, I don’t know how that happen. I don’t sleep that rough & I don’t have scissors or cutting instruments in my bed. I’ve got my 20% off coupon, so I’ll get some good use out of that.
I need to go to the male store to get some male socks. I should get about 9 pair, Harbor Bay® 3-pk Continuous Comfort™ Crew So, if you are so inclined you can just go ahead and get them for me. Go with the ALL BLACK; you can just ship them to the store, you can also ship them to my home. Thanks, that’d be great.
Yesterday I got to work some cases at work, actually doing work is much better than sitting there watching someone do work.
Oh, so KMTV posted about Girl Scouts selling cookies at the Medical Marijuana clinic. I haven’t read the story yest, but I’m going to say that someone was ‘offended by it’.. Let me read it before I analyze it. *BREAKING* NO one was offended, upset, or outraged by this story. This is an amazing and truly breathtaking story, that no one was rubbed the wrong way. NOT that they were selling cookies.
Have a great day like Danielle and her mom.
There is no sinner like a young saint.
