I’ll get to the dramamine in a bit. Here is a list of things I did in KC. I will be back in Mid Aug. for a friends wedding, and more fun I hope, then it’s back to the school…back to school. Summer is great, isn’t it?

KC:

- Ate a several great places that I love and had some cooking from mom…enchildadas, tacos. Went to Johnny’s bbq, thai palace on westport, salty iguana, chili’s (don’t have em in Portland), italain delight, jack stack bbq (remember now, I went almost 2 years without bbq), among other places. NOTE: this time, I’m going to taco via, planet sub

- Played frisbee golf. I’m awful, but this is my new game. It’s free, easy on my back, and did I say free?

- Fishing. Oh yes! Didn’t catch much, small bass and catfish, but man it was great. I can’t even tell you how much I love to fish. Took me back a few years to some good fishing times in hs and college.

- Family gatherings on the deck. Tough heat in kc in the summer, but get some mosquito candles and good food, and it’s great. When I say family, that includes a lot of people. Friends are family.

- Royals game. Cheap craiglist tickets, virtually free. Got the hot dog derby shirt. What a stadium. Hadn’t been in about 5 years. I loved it.

- Went to 3 and 2 stadium with family to watch a ball game. It was great. And, I went to the concessions to eat. If you ever went out there in your life, you know what I’m talking about. One item that they took off the menu was the burrito. Remember the fried burrito? Well, they have a new one. The sign that day said, “Back by popular demand: The burrito”. What a day. I didnt get it, but I told them how they used to make it. Let’s see if they listened to my advice.

- I spent a lot of time taking an online class. Reading a book, etc…That helped that I was taking that class, to keep me busy during the day. I also spent 3 times a day stretching. My version of yoga and flexibility. I am now doing my back/core excersices. I haven’t done a running workout, or really any workout, since Aug. 1 2009. I hope to hit the paveement late Aug. 2010. Wish me well. One mile at a time.

-Saw some fireworks KC style. Hadn’t been in KC since 2007 for the 4th. That was nice. It just popped in my head, I also ate at town topic. Good burger. Oh, my fave, winsteads as well. Love that place.

-Had a great time at my mom’s 60th. Got to see some folks I hadn’t in a while. I’m telling you, this was a good fiesta. Good food for days.

-Went to chuckecheese with my niece. We won a lot of tickets. We have good skiball players in the family. She is next in line. Made some of the best shots i’ve seen, and the technique is solid. Some work to do still, but I see talent.

-Played some nintendo wii. My favorite game without a doubt is the bike racing game. I know, some will tell you its lame. Real lame. I love it.

- Got to hang with my family. #1 on the list, if that is the only thing I did, it was worth the trip.

-Fish dance at SMP. Great time.

-Watched cable tv like it was going out of business.
