Back
I am back from a 4-day excursion to Central Kansas to visit my grandma and other relatives. The trip went fine. People seem to be doing well, though grandma has basically lost her short-term memory, which is frustrating for all of us, her included.
I took the train back from Kansas, and an extremely obese woman sat by me at the Jeff. City stop. Not to be size-ist, but it really was uncomfortable, so I tried to sit in the dining car for awhile and eventually moved into an empty seat in the car behind me.
It's funny being in a family of staunch Republicans. They are totally unlike me politically and really love Sarah Palin. I tried very hard not to say anything and I think I succeeded.
I am anxious to get things rolling on the home front again.
