Well, this is the week where one month ends and another begins. I have been working on three fitness activity targets all year. Only one of them has been definitively on target -- bicycle miles. And now, with the lull in cycling due to the vacation earlier in July, I am just making the miles … Continue reading Fitness Update: Making the Miles

Something Rotten: It Smells
Today's post is a review of Something Rotten, playing July 25-30 at Kansas City's Starlight Theater.
