that John Denver was full of #@!% man

Woop woop...I'm in Kansas yall. After my THIRD drive from Maryland to Kansas (and hopefully the last one) Allison and I arrived safely, and are now on to the unpacking phase of the operation. Yes, we've been here for 10 days now, but it really does take that long to unpack and get situated when you're me. Or if you're Allison. Or if you're both of us combined. But don't worry yall...the Playstation is fully operational.


I worked my first real day of work-from-home today. Have I explained on this blog yet that I'll be working from home? My company was cool and kept me on board...the guest bedroom is my office, and the kitchen is my break room. Breakfast for lunch! Rotini for breakfast! And fortunately, I won't run into any issues if I'm out running errands and need to use the bathroom...local Kansans have solved that problem for me:


My true friends are thinking "he would use it too!"...and they of course are correct.



We have a new roommate...Allison's cat Joe (who is a girl). For those of you who don't have permanent scars from Joe like I do, or like the ones left on my dashboard from the drive here, please visit and make sudden movements near Joe. She will introduce herself. And for those of you who think that my baggy eyes are hereditary, let me also explain that I am allergic to cats. What could be better for my allergies than working in the same apartment as Joe? She chased the reflection from my cell phone all day today, which was initially annoying, but soon became a fun game of "Get the psycho cat to chase the reflection into the hallway then shut the door". I won.


Want to know what life is like in Kansas? Here is a simple 3 step exercise:


1. Download Green Light by John Legend (the remix with Andre 3000).

2. Sit back and relax on your couch with this song playing, with an expensive drink in your hand...close your eyes...and get into the vibe.

3. Kansas is the opposite of this feeling.
