I knew that The Lawrence Journal World had a low gas price watch, but Mac just sent me this site for gas prices in all of Kansas. Good site for the traveler. http://www.kansasgasprices.com/ And yeah, I know that I have it okay. Mac and I still have a roof over our heads, food on our [...]

Gas: It has gone up to over $3/gallon here. It always goes up over Labor Day weekend, so I’m going to take the two cars out and fill up today. Except for going to daycare to pick up Ada when I work from home, the SUV and convertible don’t get a lot of driving time, [...]

My husband, the wonderful man that he is, made reservations for us at The Wa tonight. We consumed many sushis and gyoza and sopporo and saki. Then we headed out for after dinner drinks: beer for Mac and martinis for me. You know the saying: An appletini a day keeps the doctor away*. Between dinner [...]
