Got Dragged to Kansas

twice actually...

Once was about 13 years ago when the ManOfTheHouse decided to go to school in Wichita. Did I want to live in Kansas? I didn't think it would make a difference since it was right next to us anyway - but I KID YOU NOT - I was amazed every time I showed my I.D. when we arrived. At least 50% of the people I showed the I.D. to (grocery clerks etc...) asked me why on earth we would purposely leave Colorado to move to Wichita, KS. Not a good sign - it was kind of like the Welcome Wagon in reverse. As a matter of fact - the first time we made a trip to Wichita when considering the move - a windstorm sucked the rear window out of our car... talk about bad omens. Watching it fly into the air (intact) and then shatter into a million little pieces was amazing... and I would have just chalked it up to monumentally bad luck - but then it started raining... which was Kansas' way of spitting in our eye and saying "and don't come back!" We did go back... and had some rough years - but made some incredible friends... so Nyah Nyah to the windstorms - you didn't get me down!!!

THIS Kansas would be the band... what, you say you don't know them? Yeah well... I didn't really either - but by the end of the concert I had recognized a total of two songs (and you know them too...) "Dust in the Wind" and "Carry On my Wayward Son"... see, know you know as much as I do about the band. Walking into the concert I decided I was going to make the best of it and began counting Mullets. Turns out there weren't too many to count after all though (once I finished with the actual band) because those that had kept to the "party in the back" had pretty much given up on the "business in front"...

Question: Is it considered a Mullet still if "business in front" translates to "balding in front"? Just wondering - because that might change the Mullet count...

later all... I'm trying to get my bloggy momentum back - hopefully my days at the volunteerism conference will give me lots to write about :)
