The Last Laugh

This morning, Alex, Anne and I, (along with many other college students) attended Calvary Chapel Church in Maryville. I have really come to like this church and the people there. It's awesome that their almost brand-new building, which isn't even finished completely on the inside, is full every Sunday! There is always about 20 minutes of worship songs, lead by one lady (who can really sing well!) that also plays the guitar. Then we take a 5 minute break for snacks, which are provided by the church. I am a fan of the cookies and usually have a banana too.

Yesterday, I traveled to Worth County to hunt coyote with Alex. It was extremely muddy everywhere, so we came back with some muddy boots. Which, while I'm on the subject, happened to be Muck brand Boots. If you ever need a new pair of boots, go with Mucks. They are awesome. Our feet stayed warm and dry the whole day of walking through creeks, snow, and even the occasional manure pile. That's my commercial for the day.

Anyway, we didn't end up shooting, or even calling in any coyotes, but we did hear them howling right as the sun went down. We were fortunate enough to see deer, turkey, and a few squirrels, so in my opinion, the trip was well worth it. It sure beats sitting around and watching TV all day.

Wednesday was the day Alison was able to cash in her birthday gift from myself, which was a pair of tickets to Allen Fieldhouse to watch KU play Baylor. We had a great time! I have not, am not, nor will I be a fan of the Kansas Jayhawks (I'm on the Mizzou side of the border rivalry), but after seeing the facility, which was impressive in itself, the traditions, such as the famous "Rock Chalk" chant, and the pride and sheer noise the fans can produce, I have a greater respect for the Jayhawks and their basketball program. You have to at least recognize them, they have won a title or two in their day..

I got the last laugh though. In the picture, I'm actually wearing my Royals' Greinke shirt. I made sure to wear something blue, so I didn't have to fight anyone. But I fooled them, eh? I was still representing Missouri and our professional sports teams. How many does Kansas have again?
