no place like home...

Throughout our time spent here in New Zealand, you'd be surprise about the references to Nebraska and Omaha, our home, that we come across frequently, as if reminding and encouraging us to make our way back there someday.  It's been really interesting and has always provided us with a warm and fuzzy feeling.  Some examples:

• While watching the American Price is Right, a contestant was wearing a Husker t-shirt
• The Warren Buffett book display at Borders
• While checking The Who website about concert dates, a Nebraska license plate emblazoned with THE WHO is on the front page
• Watching David Letterman, there's a clip of a man yelling "Omaha!  Omaha!" over and over
• Jim Carrey at the Husker game in Nebraska in Yes Man!

There's a few more...that I can't really recall off the top of my head, but it's so neat to see Omaha-related things when we're 8516 miles away from home!
