A Bundle of Myrrh

>Antenna, not just for insects, crustaceans and other arthropods anymore. A member of the church gave us this antenna. Phil tinkered with it the other night, so we can sit in front of our television and actually have something to watch now. I really missed my Monday nights on NBC. The 1×6 is a temporary fix, we’ll soon upgrade to a respectable pole. The wire strung through the house and open doors were temporary as well. Decent Nebraskans just don’t go around with their doors hanging open, at least the ones that don’t want to freeze.

Phil is gross and gets up absurdly early. He took this picture of the sunrise this morning. Not too bad I guess. Maybe sometimes it’s not so absurd to get up that early.

>Nebraska will give you the strep. At least I think it’s the strep. Dr. Phil and his trusty flashlight don’t think it’s quite that serious. Perhaps they’re right. I just wanted to warn any of you that think life is so wonderful up here. Look what it’s done to me and take heed. It’s days of blogging from bed for me.

Ok, it’s not that bad if you have a loving bundle of love that will make you a hot bowl of chicken noodle soup and let you whine a little…or a lot if you’re bundle of love like me.

>Friday Phil and I went to Lincoln. For you Texans, this is the capital city of Nebraska and home of the Cornhuskers. The Bancroft-Rosalie high school girls volleyball team was in the State championship playoff games, we went to cheer them on. Before their first match we hopped over to the capitol building for a quick tour. It was interesting and informative for these new Nebraskans. Here’s what we saw.

The girls made it through their first playoff game and to the semi-finals that night. This game sealed the deal, they’d be going to the championship game the following morning and would defeat Humphrey-St. Francis (the school that beat our boys in the football playoffs) to become the 2007 Class D-1 State Champs. Go Panthers!
