concurring.
For the sake of consistency, I note my dissent in the first appeal in this case, Bowers v. Scherbring, 259 Neb. 595, 611 N.W.2d 592 (2000), in which I expressed my opinion that the district court did not abuse its discretion in determining that there was no material change in circumstances which would justify modification of the original alimony award. Inasmuch as that view did not prevail and the adequacy of the factual grounds for modification is not before us in this appeal, I fully agree with the reasoning and disposition set forth in the majority opinion.
