Kansas City morning

Up about 7:00, Kansas City time and I am trying to get in a bit of writing before Bella wants out of her cage.  She will take all of my attention when I let her out, so I am putting it off for awhile.  It looks like it's going to be a great weekend, sunny and warm, even into the 70's tomorrow.  Tom's got tickets to a college basketball tournament on Monday, so he, Nick, and I will go see Duke play Marquette and Kansas State will play Gonzaga in the Sprint Center downtown,  It should be fun.  We got in around 4:00 yesterday and Tom was home around then too, with ribs and chicken from Jack's Stack House, the king of rib places in KC and it was really good.  We then went off to Nick's game at 8:30; his team lost in the last minute, ahead most of the game, which was too bad.  It's a new team for him, with a different coach, a woman who seems pretty good though perhaps too intense.  When last week Tom told her Nick might have to miss a practice because of a soccer game, she said, "That's unacceptable."  Welcome to serious basketball.  Off to get Bella.

Went off to Nick's practice at 10:30 and while he practiced, we had our traditional trip to Costco, for Thanksgiving goodies, mostly Turkey related.  We then came home and Tom made chili for dinner, and we laid around most of the day watching Ohio State on the tube.  I guess I am still worn out from the trip because I don't have much energy.  It's been a nice day, in the 50's but none of us budged much though Evie just went off to the park.  We have another game tonight at 8:00 for Nick and two tomorrow.
