Good bye Jerry
Nirav and I went to KC this weekend to see the end of the White Sox season. When we booked the tickets, we had high hopes that the AL Central would be on the line, but Minnesota ran away with it in the final weeks. We still got to see the Royals get ...

Kansas City, Baby!

Welcome to Kansas
... clear blue skies with a slight breeze in the air. Left Colorado for good today and entered the flat plain which is known as Kansas. We normally take a photo of the State sign as we pass them but Kansas was so plain and uninteresting we only saw it at the ...

Kansas City...
"Well, I guess we're not in Kansas any more, Toto!" It's true, kinda. Kansas City actually straddles (ooh err!) the border of the Kansas and Missouri States, although all the interesting stuff, and my hotel, are on the Missouri side! As I ...

All Night Again

Following the Yellow Brick Road
I love using the airplane analogy to describe life. Why? Because airplanes describe life to a T. There are single person ultra-lights that are, by definition, an airplane, but they barely get you up in the air. Bet you can all find someone in your life ...
