Almost Summer

In sickness and in health, Mark and I trudged through these last few weeks of a nasty little virus I picked up at work. We’re still trying to figure out who was Patient Zero in the newsroom. Outside of work, we took it easy - pampering each other and making sure we ate regular meals. Sometimes I lose my appetite when I’m sick. Great for the waistline but terrible for the immune system.

We’re still getting some violent storms in this part of Kansas, but the weather is warming up and I’m looking forward to summer. This morning, I took my first run on Shunga Trail — since the floods swept through Topeka. It felt wonderful - pounding one foot in front of the other and watching the area heal from the flood damage.

Last week after my show, Mark surprised me with these fresh bake chocolate chip cookies. Yummy! Thank heavens one of us knows how to bake desserts.

This weekend was packed with live music and good food. This is a tasty beef brisket sandwich from the Coleman Hawkins Jazz Festival at Harley Town. Fun and smooth jazz music with tasty bbq flavors. Good times.
