Chucktown, Here We Come!
Well, I've scored the best babysitting gig ever. My brother and SIL are going to his college reunion, so me and the Little Guy flew back to Charleston to watch the kiddos while they are away. This aunt is pretty dang excited to be with all her kiddos. I've gotta be honest with you though-...

The Blizzard of '48 as told by Grandma B
I've gotten such a great response regarding my earlier post with my Grandma B's article that I've decided to share with you guys a few more of her poems. The following one is one of my favorites.

Doing Corn
An old roommate of mine, Heidi, lives here in Lincoln with her husband and one year old son. One of the many, many interesting things about Heidi is that she was raised on a farm.

Festival of the Undead
Let me be clear: I've never seen The Walking Dead, Zombieland, or World War Z. I couldn't tell you the names of any Zombie books or comics or characters or whatever there is, but when I heard that that Lincoln was hosting a Zombie Walk, I just had to check it out. It is because...
