Homesick. Again
I flew in to Kansas City a few hours ago. On the flight, I watched 2 1/2 episodes from the first season of Grey’s Anatomy. I heart this birthday present. I found catching up on prime time sitcoms is a nice way to get through the trip back to the Midwest.
We packed a lot of great food, friends, dogs and road trips into this Golden State vacation. I think I clocked in more than 500 miles of driving over the last 4 days.

Like all good things, I had to return to life in Kansas: the newsroom, co-workers and Daisy! Crazy puppy. I wonder what she would think of my home state. California seems like a dream. Did I really walk through a farmer’s market selling orchids, white apricots and duck balut? Did I savor Serrano ham and sipped lemonchella mixed with grappa at a hip San Francisco bistro? Yes. I have the pictures to prove it. And I can’t wait to do it again.
Mark has one more week in beautiful California. Lucky guy.
