I have been privileged to have my family visiting here in the Midwest these last two weeks. They spent two days staying with me in Lawrence, and two weeks staying with distant relatives and church friends in Kansas City.
Many good times were had by all. Some of the recurring themes for me:
Frisbee. I played quite a bit of Frisbee, including Frisbee in the rain, Frisbee on a tower, Frisbee in a KU fountain, and at least five rounds of Frisbee-golf.
Driving. I worked full-time while my family was out here, and when I wasn’t working, I was in Kansas City with the family and/or attending the two-week-long-meeting along with them. This entailed a great deal of driving back and forth, as well as some rather odd work-hours.
Heat & Humidity. Working in a lab that is about sixty degrees all day every day, it is easy to forget how much H&H there can be here in the Midwest. However, I was consistently reminded of this fact every time I would get into the steaming car to drive from Lawrence to Kansas City.
BBQ. I really didn’t eat that much BBQ, but it seemed like a good thing to write about after being in Kansas City for a couple of weeks. I probably had four meals’ worth of BBQ, and there was some very, very delicious food to be had. So now I can say that there is at least one thing that I like about Missouri.
