i'm in nebraska using my brother's laptop, and i realize i've been sitting in front of it checking email and such with headphones on but nothing coming out of them. i go to itunes to listen to some of chris's neil diamond but soon find out that little beaver has his music under a password. i proceed to rilokiley.com and listen to their free music.

yes, nebraska is this exciting.

seriously, it's so nice to be here and not have much to worry about. errol and i just came in from looking at the stars and playing with the cats on the deck. this afternoon errol gave me my first golf lesson at minden country club's driving range. after my little hands finished a severe beating, we drove down to the square and bought some pretty delicious sno-cones. also, watched the sequel to sarah, plain and tall. it made me glad that we have irrigation now, but it really blows my mind how hard my dad works. he's so tired and the work never ends. the corn needs more and more water and it never rains.
