Okay, this might be one of those link type posts that get me out of having to write and think too much -- or it might be a brilliant gestalt of what I saw on Monday online. Why is everyone able to offend, and be offended, so much on Memorial Day? In this first story, … Continue reading Memorial Day — An eclectic review

It was a cool and overcast morning…
when Oceans of Fun opened for the season today. Since we became season passholders to Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun back in 2001, we have attempted to make the opening day, before opening, every year. We have managed to miss a number of the Worlds of Fun opening days, but for Oceans of … Continue reading It was a cool and overcast morning…
And so it begins … daily dining on the All Season Dining Plan
This week Worlds of Fun starts opening weekdays. That means we can try doing the All Season Dining plan every day. My last update was from Friday, so I'll start with Saturday. May 9, 2015 We finally tried the nachos at the Battle Creek BBQ. They don't come with a side -- because they include … Continue reading And so it begins … daily dining on the All Season Dining Plan
All Season Dining
Well, The Park is starting to go open week days. It started yesterday, from 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Since we were working, we didn't get over for lunch, but we did get over for dinner. The park wasn't very busy, though we saw several school groups, so we went over to the Pizza Pier for our … Continue reading All Season Dining
Weekend Wrap-up on the All Season Dining Plan
This weekend I am doing a Monday wrap on the World of Fun Food plan. We tried the Vittle Griddle for lunch on Saturday. It has a bacon cheeseburger, instead of a barbecue bacon cheeseburger at Coasters. Perhaps it was doing the 5K race that morning, but it seemed so much tastier and satisfying than the … Continue reading Weekend Wrap-up on the All Season Dining Plan

Several thousand of them flowed into and out of the stadium for the KCCC Kickoff Walk and block party. It was quite a festival atmosphere. Many companies had tents and food available for their people … Continue reading Corporate Challenge Kick Off vs. Park Food
Going to the Zoo
The Kansas City Zoo got residents of a couple local counties to agree to a zoological improvement zone tax. In other words, we'd pay taxes to support the zoo -- a non-profit corporation. In exchange for our tax dollars, residents of those counties would be allowed to visit the zoo for free on select days. … Continue reading Going to the Zoo
The (Great American) Melting Pot
With a title like The Melting Pot, you might think of American history, or the Schoolhouse Rock song “The Great American Melting Pot”. But this post is going to be a little more low-key, though possibly hooked to the American melting pot theme. For this is a restaurant review of The Melting Pot – a … Continue reading The (Great American) Melting Pot
A trip to the dog park
I found a news story today, from Aug. 22, 2014 about the Waggin' Trail Park, but it wasn't until about a week ago that I personally discovered the park and it wasn't until New Year's Day that we actually took our dog Rocky to try the park out. You might not know what a boon … Continue reading A trip to the dog park
Poor use of comparison: lack of context before making a judgment
Lately our power company, KCP&L, has been sending out bimonthly letters telling us how we rate in power consumption among 100 neighbors. The 100 neighbors is "approximately 100 occupied, nearby homes that are similar in size to yours (avg. 1,832 sq ft). What amazes me is over the past 6 months we have varied from … Continue reading Poor use of comparison: lack of context before making a judgment
