Dinner and an Auction
My Dad called this week and asked if we wanted some company for the weekend. I said that I thought we were pretty free, but I’d better check with Lauren. Lauren thought I was crazy… “You have a conference in Omaha all day Friday, then Middle School Fun Night all evening. Saturday morning I have [...]

… at auctions, that is. Not that I’m upset that he bought a sousaphone, of course. It’s that he bought a sousaphone without me there. If he’s going to take these crazy kinds of risks unattended, there’s no telling what kind of unsanctioned junk he might buy. Today a sousaphone, tomorrow a bulk bundling machine. [...]

Saturday, October 28, 2006
Well, folks, another Saturday was frittered away at an auction. This was the Lincoln Public Schools auction, which is better than the rest because they have many things that I’m interested in. (The others just have rows upon rows of computers and monitors. *snore*) Sure, up close they’re all worthless, old globes and microscopes that [...]
