going both.\u00a0 Freaking ridiculous, and it takes forever to get where you&#8217;re going.\u00a0 Near as I can guess, everybody wakes up early on Mondays and catches &#8220;my&#8221; bus, then throughout the week wake up progressively later and later, hence catching later buses.\u00a0 Who knows, that&#8217;s the best I can come up with.<\/p>\n<p>That weekend was definitely a &#8220;down&#8221; schedule after the last one.\u00a0 That&#8217;s just speaking for myself though;\u00a0 Donette was rather busy, but then she&#8217;s not writing this.\u00a0 Friday I actually had the day off, which I spent in a typically useless fashion.\u00a0 Man, I hate burning vacations just to use them up.\u00a0 Not as much as I hate losing them though, so I just have them sprinkled here and there over the rest of the year.\u00a0 We did go to happy hour at the Brooksider, and that was about it.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday we headed up to <a title=\"The Legends\" href=\"http:\/\/www.legendsshopping.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Legends<\/a> for some light Christmas shopping, stopping along the way for an early lunch at Amigos.\u00a0 Lunch was delicious, shopping was&#8230;\u00a0 Well, shopping.\u00a0 To our credit, we had a very specific list of items to get, and we got &#8217;em and got out.\u00a0 After that, Donette went over to a friends house for the evening, while Gabe &amp; I sat on the couch and vied for the &#8220;laziest male in the house&#8221; prize.\u00a0 Gabe was declared the victor when I had to log on and do some work at midnight, which required a few mouse clicks.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday we got up (relatively) early and went over to our friends Steve &amp; Brenda&#8217;s house.\u00a0 They had put together an auction to raise money for the tips hotline, to hopefully try and get some info in the death of <a title=\"Ed\" href=\"http:\/\/www.msnbc.msn.com\/id\/33847405\/ns\/local_news-kansas_city_mo\/\" target=\"_blank\">our friend Ed<\/a>.\u00a0 (That&#8217;s actually where Donette was all night Saturday too, she went and helped put everything together.)\u00a0 They did a great job with it, last we heard they raised over $2k.\u00a0 They had a big party to watch the the Chiefs\/Denver game, but we had to get back to Midtown because Donette was going to see <a title=\"Wicked\" href=\"http:\/\/www.broadwayacrossamerica.com\/baa.site\/City.aspx?CityId=84&amp;EngId=4579\" target=\"_blank\">Wicked<\/a> with Kelly &amp; Susan.\u00a0 They hit the show, then dinner at Carmens with even more people.\u00a0 They reported that is was just a wonderful show;\u00a0 I&#8217;ll take their word for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think we may be about to be paid back for a rather temperate Fall.\u00a0 Snow and ice in the first week of December?\u00a0 Bad mojo.\u00a0 Oh well, it&#8217;s not like I have to drive in it, I&#8217;ll let the bus drivers worry about it.\u00a0 Speaking of which, I hate riding the bus on Mondays.\u00a0 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-531","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/531","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=531"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/531\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=531"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=531"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pkenagy.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=531"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
