Summer Startup

Spring is my favorite. Winter puts me in a funk in mid-January and that makes me unpleasant to be around. Then, when the snow finally goes away and everything starts to turn green, the attitude adjustment is palpable. Knowing that baseball is back gets me thinking about getting the yard in baseball field shape. Summer

Life in the Burg: “Kids in the Burg” Vol. 3 Art. 3

I’m the product of rural Nebraska. I grew up playing in the dirt. Building forts in our shelterbelt. Getting lost in cornfields. I spent more time riding in the bed of a pick up than up front in the cab. Looking back I realize my childhood was equal parts adventure, hard work and freedom. This

Life in the Burg: “Town Kids and Farm Kids” Vol. 3 Art. 2

I grew up pre-Facebook. Pre-cell phones. It existed but my parents didn’t (and still don’t) have cable. My summer days began with one of my parents bellowing up the stairs of our old farmhouse before sunrise to irrigate. There were often other chores when we got home. And later, we’d irrigate again in the evening

Life in the Burg: “The Perfect Place” Vol. 3 Art. 1

I have to admit, Life in the Burg is a strange animal. I can go on for days with stories of neighbors helping neighbors, community members sacrificing so much of what they have to try and assure a positive future for our village, and so on. But there are times when this environment tests your

Life in the Burg: “Halloween Shenanigans” Vol. 2 Art. 10

The evening of Halloween looks a lot like Christmas morning at our house. Chaotic energy, excitement and an ample supply of sugar. It’s been talked about for weeks between siblings and friends. And it comes and goes just as quickly. When I was much younger, Halloween was just as special. We lived a few miles

Life in the Burg: “Creatures of Habit” Vol. 2 Art. 9

It’s been said that we are creatures of habit. Routine is inevitable. Spontaneity is just out of reach. The only real break in the cycle is the weather. Small town Nebraska is a prime example of human nature. Pay attention on your next drive down any of our streets and you’ll have a strong grasp

Life in the Burg: “Nebraska Summer” Vol. 2 Art. 7

Step outside early in the morning and you can almost taste the pollen hanging in the air. You never really know if you’re going to walk into a coolness that subtly reminds you that fall is on its way, or if you’ll be greeted by the stickiness that defines a Nebraska summer. This time of

Life in the Burg: “Spoiled or Fortunate” Vol. 2 Art. 6

Spoiled or fortunate? It’s a question that often runs through my head during summer break. It also happens to be a pretty popular topic of discussion at our dinner table. On the farm, my summer break was spent irrigating, rogueing soybeans or cutting thistle with my siblings…while our town friends spent most days at the pool or congregating
