I love to travel like a local. Outside your comfort zone is where the magic happens
Been a while since I’ve been on Bluesky.
Starting the weekend off by listening to Brass Alley Brass at JCCC.
Up, up, and away.
Hanging out in the SAS lounge at Chicago O’Hare before my flight.
Amana Colonies is a great place to visit.
They have a little bit of everything with an old German feel.
Currently in Iowa City.
It’s changed so much since I lived here last.
Had to have dinner at Wig & Pen for old times sake.
Today I checked out Boots on the Ground at SMUUC in Lenexa, KS.
I was invigorated by the sheer number of anti Trump supporters from both parties looking for ways to help get us out of this mess. There are more of us out there than what the media is portraying. Don’t despair.
I had the opportunity to see säge (rhymes with beige) at Folly Theater.
A vocal quartet with an acronym of the four members first names, their debut album won a 2024 Grammy Award.
Dinner at Clay & Fire.
Turkish cuisine located in a small house in the Westside neighborhood.
Sunday funday.
Today I checked out Coffee Creek Streamway Trail in South OP.
Coffee Creek is a paved shared trail between Heritage Park & Arthur & Betty Verhaeghe Park totaling 3.4 miles.
It’s an easy paved trail if you’re looking to add to your list.
Saturday adventures.
Winter farmers market.
Once a month during winter the top floor of Lenexa Public Market is filled with vendors offering everything from fresh winter veggies to wine & CBD products.
Next one is Saturday 3/29. See you there!

The cornflake chicken sandwich is one of my faves & team C U Next Thursday came in 3rd.
Saturday adventures.
Lunch with friends at Jerusalem Cafe, Independence location.

Check them out if you’re in the area.
Saturday adventures.
City Center Live.
During the months of October-March, on the second Saturday of the month, Lenexa City Hall has a free performing arts series.
Tonight was Bram Wijnands Swingtet who played swing music from the 1940’s.
I spent tonight at Greenwood Social Hall listening to local artist Calvin Arsenia.
Greenwood is a renovated 98 year old church. It’s a beautiful, intimate venue with fantastic acoustics.
If you’re in KC, I recommend attending a concert.
Sunday Funday.
Lunar New Year celebration at Lenexa Public Market.
Boycott plan. Hopefully you can see this video. It's well thought out and worth a look.

Saturday adventures.
Overland Park off season farmers market for some winter veg, eggs, & bread followed by a delightful amaretto latte at Parisi Cafe.
Wayne Newton performed at Ameristar tonight in KC.
Up Close & Personal was good! It was a performance that reflected his life & career interspersed with songs, TV clips, anecdotes, & fun facts.
It was definitely worth the ticket price.
Sunday funday.
JoCo home & garden show.
Got in a lot of steps, found some cool outdoor furniture & bedding for a future purchase.
Walked away with some locally grown creamed honey & a quart of sweet horseradish pickles.
Dinner at Noka.
Fabulous rustic Japanese inspired cuisine.
I had a Kumquat to drink, California Crunch Roll & Nightmarket Chicken Wings for my main, & Togarishi spiced brownie for dessert.
Don’t forget to order the edamame toast. Such a fantastic flavor combination.
Tonight I attended a free stage reading of Smoke.
Playing at Cophagen Stage it explores the themes of family, identity, & resilience.
It’s beautifully written.
Trigger warning: trauma, abuse, & toxic masculinity are addressed.
Drew Woodson has a bright future ahead of him
