Well, the fall term has started at my flyover institute, so we are really cooking now. Phew. Fall is here and the temperatures have finally dropped accordingly. The Cards clinched a play-off spot over the weekend and word is that Mike Matheny may be the new manager of the Kansas City Royals. Hmmm. I may have to start liking the Royals.

My quiet weekend turned very exciting when I found out that our friend Gary and his band, Colonel Ford, was opening for Marty Stuart and his Fabulous Superlatives at the Sheldon on Sunday night! Gary had extra tickets so I got to go and daughter #1 drove in from mid-MO on Sunday to accompany Becky and me. I took a long nap on Sunday afternoon so that I could stay up after my bedtime.

Colonel Ford did themselves proud…

P.S. I’m thinking young Marty had a real DN vibe going, right?
