Evie Day 582
Good morning, and a very happy last day of the Western work week to you all. Today is Friday, 18 October 2024.
The news is on, and the primary topic is the Al Smith Dinner last evening, and Kamala Harris pre-recorded her bit, while Trump delivered a very cringeworthy talk comprised of bad jokes. He should hire new writers.
Last night was rather uneventful. I wrapped up my class at 5, jumped into a meeting at 5:05, and wrapped that a half-hour later. After that, it was mostly Thursday Night Football (not worth watching) and reading content online for work.
My thoughts now turn to this day and the weekend.
I’m not sure if Lisa has a plan for tomorrow morning. At times, we have gone into Kansas City to Sam’s or Costco, grabbing a bite of breakfast on the way. We haven’t discussed that yet, but I will endeavor to adapt to the situation on the fly.
There are some games on this weekend. Kansas will host (kind of) the Houston Cougars. This season has not gone as hoped for the Jayhawks, and I think some of it can be attributed to our home field situation – our stadium is being reconstructed, so we’re either playing at Children’s Mercy Park (soccer field for Sporting KC) and Arrowhead Stadium (home of the Chiefs). It just feels a bit disconnected. The new stadium can’t get done soon enough.
On Sunday, the Chiefs will play the San Francisco 49ers, the team they beaten twice in the Superbowl in the last five years. Both teams have been bitten by the injury bug, but so far this season, Kansas City has found a way to win all of their games so far, while the 49ers have dropped to a .500 record.
That’s about all I have. I have some mowing to do, other yard work. I probably ought to get the garage and barn space in order for our property vehicles.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
