http://observationsfromkansas.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

Observations from Kansas and Beyond: Reflections from a Road Worrier. Saturday, March 14, 2009. Who's Up for Lebanese? They are Eastern Orthodox Christians for the most part with a few Catholics as well. A recent migration has included more from Beiruit who became active in the restaurant business. Although many people think Wichita is another Amarillo where we eat barbeque and chile, in fact Wichitans actually have opinions about who has the best hummus. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Whos Up for Lebanese?

Observations from Kansas and Beyond: Reflections from a Road Worrier: On this Independence Day

http://observationsfromkansas.blogspot.com/2009/07/on-this-independence-day.html

Observations from Kansas and Beyond: Reflections from a Road Worrier. Saturday, July 4, 2009. On this Independence Day. Life has a way of getting away from us.

Figure July 4 is as good a day to deal with it as any.

Observations from Kansas and Beyond: Reflections from a Road Worrier. Friday, January 9, 2009. Whither-or is it wither- Route 66? For a while, it seemed like Route 66 nostalgia was the holy grail for many of these communities, attempting to lure visitors off the main interstates. It was this nostalgia that emerged in large part to Michael Wallis' book Route 66: The Mother Road. Or the near spin-off film, Cars. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Observations from Kansas and Beyond: Reflections from a Road Worrier: Know any good Advent songs?

http://observationsfromkansas.blogspot.com/2009/12/know-any-good-advent-songs.html

Observations from Kansas and Beyond: Reflections from a Road Worrier. Sunday, December 20, 2009. Know any good Advent songs? The most important dynamic is that the Christian calendar has the major holiday start the given season. The season of Christmas follows Christmas. The season of Easter follows Easter. The season of Pentecost follows.and follows.and follows Pentecost. Makes sense. Think about it. Other than O Come, O Come Emmanuel, what other popular advent song is out there? I guess, my advice is i...

Observations from Kansas and Beyond: Reflections from a Road Worrier. Tuesday, November 11, 2008. Varieties of local history. It's been a while since I had a chance to even update the blog. It also gave you all a chance to read up on "Mr. Q." October is conference season as well a the crunch time for local events. Given the climate of the Midwest, almost everything local that isn't holiday-related is crammed into 6-8 weeks in the spring and 6-8 weeks in the fall. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Varieties of ...
