Giving Thanks Trip

This weekend was met with considerable road time and quality family time. We are a bit worn out to say the least but worth the 1600 miles, snow, flat tire, big helping of traditional turkey-day stuff(ing), road construction delays, and eating well at a couple nice restaurants in Austin.

Wednesday had me driving to Wichita to pickup Deb at the airport – she was on a return leg of a business trip from Minneapolis by way of Chicago O’Hare. 10 minutes from a 10 a.m. arrival, I brush up against a curb at the Kansas Turnpike Toll Booth and pop the stem on the front driver’s side tire.

I sent several photos to the local ABC, NBC, and Fox afflilates. Only the ABC 10pm TV weather report “published” the photos last night during the broadcast that I know of. The Fox television chief meteorogist has been the only one to respond to my emailed photos and inquiry.  Continue reading “Sky-scape”

I’ve sat through many sermons and lectures that caused this same type of reaction. (I laugh outloud everytime I watch this – and don’t you know what I’ll be thinking next time I see someone doing this in public…meeeeeeeoooooooowwwwwwwww limy fish). I’ve tried to converse with some people that had a similar reaction to my attempts at social graces. And has anyone seen a pair of cat ears laying around anywhere? I would be grotchy too if I couldn’t find, see, or hear my ears…. tm BTW, the 300-pound canary said ____________________________ (anyone besides FS or FD?)
