So, “The Run” will be famous in Kansas City forever. But check out this play from
@PatrickMahomes
in high school. His team was down by 7, less than a minute to play, in the playoffs. Kind of uncanny.

While watching
#returnofthejedi
tonight, my 8-year-old son (who is left-handed, and has “Luke” as a middle name) whispers, “Dad, is Luke Skywalker left handed?” I’d never noticed, but in this scene (plus the saber catch) my kiddo sure did.

Lots of trash around Union Station this morning, then I noticed this in the debris. Hope the owner is ok. I’ll hang on to it in case he/she wants it back.

Went out to eat tonight for the first time in a bit. Folks, be patient with restaurant employees, and actually read that little sign they all have out front about staffing shortages. They are SWAMPED, and they don’t need a snarky reminder of how long you’ve waited. They know.

Right now, my wife and our neighbor are explaining to our 5 kids (our 3 boys, their 2 girls) why they can’t play together for the time being. I can’t imagine what this must be like in a child’s heart and mind. Breaks my heart. God be with the little ones. 🙏🏻
