Drove down with 3 co-workers for a fellow coworker's wedding in Springfield, MO. Bit of a drive and I got my 2nd ever ticket for speeding as I didn't notice that the limit went down to 45mph in Clinton, MO (previous ticket was near Concordia, KS many years ago when they, too, had a somewhat hidden drop in speed limit). Besides the ticket, had a good time celebrating the wedding and doing best at dancing. It was often lonely out there, but the group from Omaha represented NE well on the dance floor. Pretty tired and kitties won't leave me alone tonight (they missed me).

Also, we stopped for lunch at Gates in Kansas City. Oh my goodness - wonderful BBQ! I know it's not the best in KC, but the ribs put everything I've had in CA and NY and most states in between to shame! A nice reminder of a "food stuff" that we have better here than on the coasts. Soo good!
