Then This Happened: Part 515


Bye bye, Apartment D.

It feels like I lived in Kansas City just long enough to start to feel settled and to have met some really great people along the way. I admit, I didn't anticipate growing attached to life there but it's when you have to move away that you realize that all of the little things about a place actually made a lasting impression and that you'll miss all of them when you move on to something new.

Playing pickup soccer at Swinney Rec Center, watching Manchester United matches at Teocali, getting smoothies at KC Juice, wolfing down a slice at Pizza 51, junking at the River Market Antique Mall, stuffing myself at Succotash, cooling off at Fresher Than Fresh Snow Cones, falling in love with Hammerpress, watching $4 matinees at Cinemark Country Club Plaza and enjoying that ticket price, driving through neighborhood after neighborhood of great home architecture, cruising by the city parks, and getting lost in the Nelson-Atkins Museum to name a few.

I'm plenty excited for whatever may be in store ahead of me but I'll definitely miss Kansas City and the people that I got to know there. Cheers, KC!

Locked and loaded for the thirty hour drive. I see a project in my future.

One last Sunday afternoon visit to Fresher Than Fresh. I'm really going to miss that Watermelon Basil. It's pretty much divine.

Just another terrifying storm blowing through the Midwest. Tornado sirens are the eeriest.

Life in boxes. All packed up and on its way.

Today's packing turned up two years' worth of study notecards. Tabs included. I made her keep the cards. Those first two years of dental school were tough ones and I couldn't bear to see that much of her hard work get thrown away.

Finding a place to live was all about location, location, location. Actually moving comes down to logistics, logistics, logistics.

Fresh squeezed good. Now that's a nice orange.

A barista said earlier today that I was wearing some "baller shades." I don't think "baller" is what I was going for, if I was going for anything at all, but I guess I'll take it.

I paid homage today. Not literally though. My wallet stayed put, tucked away in my back pocket. Saw a lot that I liked but I guess I just wasn't in the buying spirit. Next time!

Check out Homage here.

A nice night for a ballgame. It would have been nicer if a Premium Beer hadn't cost $7 but oh well. Worth it? Yeah.

Not quite as cool as Prince William's vintage Aston but still pretty fly.
