There And Back Again

I had hoped to write about this sooner but, unfortunately, this week has been very busy with each day being at least a 10-hour work day. There’s a lot I could say, but if I don’t get this post up, who knows when I’ll have the time to sit down again and write about it.

On April 23rd I flew out to Kansas City to hang out with Logtar and his lovely wife Bea. Logtar and I became online buddies about 5 years ago when we discovered each others blogs.

I’ve known that they were awesome people, but to meet them in person really showed me just how welcoming and genuine they really are. I was welcomed into their home and treated like I was family. Even their cats were great! We spent three days enjoying some great food (Kansas City really does have awesome BBQ!), exploring the city, Logtar and I went to watch the Royals whoops the Tigers’ asses, and we had some cool talks over morning coffee.

The day before I left, some of their other blogger and twitter friends came over and hung out. Nuke, Kanga, Logtar and I played the Battlestar Galactica board game which was a ton of fun. I also met Spyder (Kanga’s wife), Average Jane and A Librarian.

It took me most of the trip to adjust to the realization that I didn’t have things I had to do: no kids to wrangle, no bed times to adhere to, no go-till-I-drop daily routines, and so forth. The trip what exactly what I needed and I can’t wait to get back to visit everyone again!
