Thanksgiving means to me…..
November 24, 2004….12 hours at the Marriott. Yep, since hotels don’t close and I need a week off at Christmas, I’m stuck pulling a 12 hour shift as the Manager on Duty at the Kansas City Airport Marriott for Thanksgiving. Before you feel too sorry for me, though, I’ll have to admit that I volunteered for it to insure that I can get Christmas off. I’m feeling a little dissapointed right now but not too bad. In reality Thanksgiving is mostly about eating and being with family anyway. Since my family is not here (even though I love spending time with Tracy’s family) and I don’t really enjoy eating that much (I’m lobbying for the day when we can take pills that will provide all the nutritional value necessary so that eating becomes extinct) Thanksgiving becomes not that big of a deal. I’ll admit that I’d love spending more time with Tracy and Grace and I’d enjoy the break from work and school and I’d love the football but other than that, I’ll be ok at the Marriott. Besides, this should give me time to get a bunch of work done for school and church. Let’s hope so anyway!

Walking in a Winter Wonderland!
November 24, 2004Well, did winter hit with a fury! We’ve enjoyed unseasonably warm weather to date here in Northwest Missouri this year. All that has changed now. We woke up this morning to a white, white view. We started getting some of the fattest snow flakes I’ve ever seen last night at about 11pm. It stopped this morning around 10am. The weatherman was calling for anywhere from .5 inches (us) to maybe 5 inches (southwest of KC) and was off by a long shot. We got around 2 inches and all over Kansas City they were covered with anywhere from 6 inches to a foot. Some of you may know but if you don’t, I hate snow. Now, to be honest, I like the way it looks. I really enjoyed driving to work today and looking at the beautiful scenery. What I don’t like, however, is what it and ice do to the roads nor how I feel when I’m covered in snow myself. Thankfully this time the roads stayed clear where I live and I didn’t have to touch the stuff. Accordingly, I can chalk this up as one good snowstorm this year. Oh how I long for Christmas in Florida wearing shorts and playing golf! I’ll enjoy that in 4 weeks! (It can’t come soon enough) I’ve included pictures so that you visual people can understand what we’re dealing with.
LOOK HOW DEEP THIS IS!!!!!!!!
