With all the new changes at Worlds of Fun this year, especially their new entrance plaza, today's look at the past comes from a chilly day in April 2008 at WOF. How many different things can we see in these pictures that are no longer there, or have been transformed in some way?
A Look Ahead …
Starting yesterday, Worlds of Fun is open daily through the middle of August (excluding Sunday, May 21 -- when someone must have bought out the whole park for a private event). So you can attend the park today and the rest of the week. But a warning: my daughter and I went over around 11:30 … Continue reading A Look Ahead …

Worlds of Fun Celebrity
My original plan was to put together a video from the BBQ and Brew Festival at Worlds of Fun for today's post. I have one, and will be making comments here about the festival.

Densel Ray Ball II: A Demi-Eulogy
Today's post is going to be a very dangerous one. For while I won't be speaking evil of the dead, I may not be speaking with high enough praise to satisfy everyone. The deceased, Densel Ray Ball II, was a dear friend of mine, though definitely others knew him better and closer. My choices, and … Continue reading Densel Ray Ball II: A Demi-Eulogy
A Blast of the Past #95: Christmas
Today's blast is Christmas 2007. The pictures feature Christmas wardrobe, much of it picked up during my trip to India.
A Look Ahead …
This past weekend, along with the next two weekends, is the BBQ and Brew Festival at Worlds of Fun. So I've chosen a look back, at last year's festival, as a way to look forward to this year's. This coming Saturday, like when I posted about last year's festival, is also the Kansas City Corporate … Continue reading A Look Ahead …
