We followed the visit to the hippos with a cruise on the boat. The lake in the Africa section gives a view of the central savannah, which includes the giraffes, zebras, etc. The lake itself, we learned, used to be used for speedboat racing, and was eventually deepened, with the island in the "middle" being … Continue reading KC Zoo: an African Cruise
Hungry, hungry hippos
Continuing the series of posts I started Monday, today is the video I mentioned yesterday -- of Hippos at the Kansas City Zoo. We came upon the hippos with one of them out of the water, eating. It was the first time at the zoo that I think we have see the hippos anywhere but … Continue reading Hungry, hungry hippos
KC Zoo: Tram to Africa
Unlike our other trips to the zoo, we splurged on the $10 all-transport pass (Reduced to $9 -- due to the heat the tram to Africa was free). So we could ride the tram, train, sky safari, boat and carousel as much as we wanted. Thus transport is going to feature prominently in this, and … Continue reading KC Zoo: Tram to Africa
KC Zoo: Sea Lions
(Continuing posts on a visit to the Kansas City Zoo). One of the popular shows, and also one of the closest to the main gate, is the Sea Lion Show. Because we had watched the bird show at 10 a.m., we had missed the morning Penguin feedings, but we had time to get to the … Continue reading KC Zoo: Sea Lions
Zoo Week
Today was the hottest day of the year so far -- a perfect day to head out to the zoo. Well, it was, but not because it was hot. It was the second "free admission" day for people who are in the counties that pay taxes to support the zoo. So we got there around … Continue reading Zoo Week
Concert of Sacred Metaphors: Joy in the Journey
(This is the 12th and final part of the series on my only solo concert to date: A Concert of Sacred Metaphors, 2006). The concert ended with this song from Michael Card: Joy in the Journey. A reminder that life in Christ is a journey, not a destination.
Panda Express
Okay, an update on the all season dining plan. Â It only includes specific restaurants -- but that seems to be a majority of them. Â But one of the significant holdouts was the Panda Express at Worlds of Fun. But no longer. Yesterday we got an e-mail that they had added Panda Express to the plan. … Continue reading Panda Express
Cinderella — Surprisingly Traditional
(Note: Potential Spoilers ahead -- read at your own peril!) Fortunately the production of Rodger's and Hammerstein's Cinderella at Kansas City Starlight this week did not live up to its billing. The ad blurb stated: The new tour of Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella delights audiences with its surprisingly contemporary take on the beloved tale of … Continue reading Cinderella — Surprisingly Traditional
Hack or no Hack
Yesterday was a day of amazing coincidences. Â The Bureau of Homeland Security assured us that none of them were caused by any "malicious intent", but that doesn't present the conspiracy-minded from seeing all those plausible connections. After all, how many times does: 1) An airline's system grounds all its planes for 2 hours. 2) The … Continue reading Hack or no Hack
I know your whole story ….
Just a reminder that hit me today... when people are so sure they know all about you .... They are often 100% wrong.
