The first snow of the season came to Kansas City yesterday. I love it when snow falls and the sky is gray and the skyline is even lighter gray, almost hiding in the background. I shoveled the sidewalk of my own home for the first time. And it's no more satisfying than shoveling someone else's walk. My mother-in-law and step-father-in-law (and for a ( Read more... )

1. Got my first speeding ticket on Sunday while driving back from Colorado. 87-89 in a 75 zone. He pretty much told me that if I would've stuck to 85 he wouldn't have pulled me over ( Read more... )

Mom and Dad came for a visit last Tuesday night through Saturday night. They wanted to see me play at open mic night, so we decided to go on Wednesday when the crowd is smaller, less people come to play, and there aren't likely to be drunk people getting rowdy.
