Weirsdos Westward II: Happy Holidays
After Tulsa, Toyplayer and I headed up to Kansas City, where we played cards, Scrabble, charades, and hang man and watched THE INCREDIBLES, CARS, and WALL-E. Grandma Weirsdoer had never seen THE INCREDIBLES and CARS before, and she liked them a lot. We also took her some of Mall Diva's inimitable stationery, because we had noticed she had run out.
The visit was nicer than usual because Grandma Weirsdoer's roommate had stolen some meds and had to be hospitalized, so she was gone, and the roommate before her had left a DVD-player and TV, so we didn't have to be out in the big room with everybody as much. Also, they have moved the smokers farther away from the building, and I think they are taking fewer of them, so second-hand smoke is not as much of a problem as it used to be.
Our home away from home was the 54th Street Grill and Bar, where Toyplayer consumed many a Devil's Den Burger, and I enjoyed Boulevard beer and great salads.

Your daughter Sylvia is an awesome photographer, as well as one hellava graphic artist! Surely she could sell her Christmas card design to any number of snowless-state stationary stores on the numerous exits of Interstate-10.
It's sort of ironic for me that I have lived in cities both at the start of I-10 (Jacksonville) and the end of I-10 (Santa Monica).
If I remember correctly, I one time received a speeding ticket on that very same Interstate, just outside of Houston, on my way to New Orleans. I had been in San Antonio, having driven there from Dallas, where I lived in the mid-1980s. I may have been in Tulsa once.
Have you had a vacation this summer? I haven't. It's too hot. Anyway, so glad to know that William consumed many a Devil's Den Burger over your Christmas vacation, and that you enjoyed Boulevard beer and great salads!
This was pretty much it, K. Sam the Purple Jam, Bela (my new wife), and I went along.
At least you weren't on the East Coast! I envy the time you're having. I haven't had a vacation since we went to visit my brother in Tucson in 2003 and I lost 5 years of my life driving over Wolf Creek Pass in snow and fog. I begged my father to keep the hotel room in Santa Fe for one more day, but noooooo! I miss the old man, but he was a stubborn cuss!
Challenge!
BRAVISSIMO!!!
Kiss Kiss
