Goin’ down the only road I’ve ever Known

Open enrollment for summer begins April 6 at 9 p.m. on the Word of the Day at Dictionary.com - intransigent: refusing to agree or compromise; inflexible.

Turning from Shawnee Mission Parkway I noticed an ‘End Road Work’ sign, so I drove up the street and turned around to see diamond signs, ‘Road Work Ahead,’ ‘One Lane Road,’ and ‘Flagman.’ All these things will be my reality on April 7^th, “Remember, where you’re going, ‘Goin’ down the only road you’ve ever known,’ there are no roads.”

“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good,

As Huey Lewis & The News will tell you, to be hip is a Word of the Day at Dictionary.com - tessellate: to form or arrange in a checkered or mosaic pattern.

Sometime in 1990, ‘Taking Care of Business’ was a movie with Jim Belushi where the Cubs won the Series. Twice today when I was taking care of business, I found parking spaces easily; first in front of the Regnier Center, and second in the lane to enter northbound I-35 from 75^th Street.

Working at a busing service has provided me with the following information:
the exit from northbound I-35 to westbound I-435 will close on April 4^th,
and the exit from southbound I-35 to eastbound I-435 will close April 5^th

Previously, I had said that Old 56 Highway to Northbound I-35 will be closing on Friday, March 25^th ; this was delayed to Tuesday, March 29^th and In order to resurface, both northbound and southbound I-35 will be limited to two lanes between Santa Fe and 151^st Street through September!

Shortly after being contacted today, and more importantly before Saturday, 26^th March, Consolidated Communications resolved the absence of the Discovery Family Channel; the season premiere for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic should be my Word of the Day at Dictionary.com - kenspeckle: conspicuous; easily seen or recognized.

Yes, the pizza place pays fortnightly, yet tomorrow will be the first in which I have worked a full two weeks, and will cover the car payment, so one of my financial worries is lessened.

Despite early dismissal in the district, I will be unable to attend the remote broadcast of Dana & Parks at the 54^th Street Grill in Independence, Missouri tomorrow afternoon.

Also significant on Friday, 25^th March how much is the closure of Old 56 Highway to Northbound I-35; I have been noticing the detour signs along Northbound Kansas Highway 7. Easter Sunday I will also likely be working at the pizza place.

You’re a good Man, Cootersneeze

Twitter / Boulevard Brewing Company: “Our hearts and thoughts are with our Duvel family and all of Belgium this morning.”

Kansas City’s Morning News begins each hour with ABC News, where I first heard about the terrorist attacks in Brussels. Among the Americans, three missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were injured. Looking for a local connection, I learned from Trend KC with Burns & Monacelli that students from the University of Missouri School of Journalism were also visiting at that time.

My name is Ron, the Platypus-Man

Whereas I have been watching much Family Guy​, this time of year causes me to remember events from two years ago and 10 years ago, when my life felt a bit like a Word of the Day at Dictionary.com - smithereens: small pieces; bits.

These times return to my mind today as the morning was unusually cold, like when I tried to work two jobs; the second was a paper route in late March, early April, 2006. If I’d taken the route with maybe a hundred papers I could have been successful, but I was greedy, and decided to choose the route with more than 300. They took me through the route over the course of a week, but I had to quit by the third day of trying to do it myself. This is similar to the job from which I had to resign two years ago, where I was transitioning into a new role, not achieving, and found myself with little alternative.

“I learned from church that if you’re good you go to heaven;
but if you’re bad, you go to a place where the dead believe they’re still living,

Chris Griffin responds, “UPN?” Launched with Star Trek: Voyager, few remember UPN ever existed at all, and l even fewer remember the less successful and more ignoble experiments in programming like Platypus-Man, “an adult male human attempts to meet frequently but generally ends up alone.”

I’m not usually this chatty, but substitute driver Ron, whom I met my first week at the busing service, engaged me in conversation and informed me that Stan Lee was going to be at Planet ComiCon this year. Ron reminds me of Uncle Kenneth in his appearance and demeanor.

He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength.

Until I saw the sign in a store, I didn’t even know Easter was Sunday, March 27^th, and the ramp from Old 56 Highway in Olathe to Northbound I-35 closes the previous day Saturday, March 26^th which is also when the new season for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic premieres.

Spring Break is half ended. I am off work for the busing service because schools are not in session in the district. Fortunately, I started a second job, and I am picking up some hours at the pizza place because demand should increase while children are not in school. Also, tournaments for N.C.A.A. basketball are being played, and an afternoon game for Kansas Men’s Basketball will increase demand tomorrow.

Monday, I presented at Bonner Springs Toastmasters, and David joined me at Jose Pepper’s. Yesterday, a friend and I met another friend at Rosedale Barbeque for a car show and barbecue. We later visited Denton.

My third week as the delivery driver continues to yield insights and employment during the Spring Break. I have begun to use Mountain Dew® Kick-start™ again, even though I had stopped energy drinks for a while.

When the Royals were in the World Series in 2014, the starting and ending of the games often dictated what kind of business we had at Arby’s those evenings, and the continuing success of the University of Kansas men’s basketball team also continues to drive business at the pizza place. Today I missed a performance by Samantha Fish, and I don’t know if Donald Trump succeeded in a rally in Kansas City, Missouri, or if Ted Cruz also had a successful local rally, yet I do know that K.U. scored 81 - 71 against West Virginia.

National ‘I’m Pancake’ Day

The third episode of each season of My Little Pony continues to hold a special place in my heart, and I can relate to the plight of Twilight Sparkle in “Castle Sweet Castle,” where she is spending an excess amount of time with friends, and falling asleep the next morning.

“Hoppy to be of service,“ my friend Ben reminded me, “we are going to miss the free pancake promotion, so at a hare past 7 you and I hop over to IHOP (15410 W 119^th St, Olathe, KS) , and then we hop over to the theater, and see Officer Hopps in ‘Zootopia’.”
