This is the first year the kids have gone trick-o-treating door to door. We have always gone downtown which is nice for the efficiency and tons of people and costumes. The downfall usually is that it is really crowded and instead of enjoying the time, you are rushing your kids through the line at each [...]
It’s what’s for di…wait, what *is* for dinner?
Between taking a much needed work break and the fact that I had been telecommuting before, I haven’t commuted into KC for work everyday since 2005.
