Our First Valentine’s Day

First Valentine's Day

Jason

A recent incident reminded me of Jason’s and my dating days.  We each had an evening class at the University of Nebraska on the same night of the week, at the same time, in the same building, and just one door down from each other.  Jason lived in an apartment near the school, so he… [continue reading]

My Nebraska Dating Experience

The adventures from my first year in Nebraska after I had graduated college seemed to prove to me what I thought I already knew from past experience.  First, that all men from Nebraska are strange, and second, I would never marry anyone from Nebraska–I actually said that!
