You’d never believe that I actually think about this blog at least 3 or 4 times a week. I load my daily run post under the Run Streak page (found above), but I never really get anything posted as an actual blog post. Frankly, it’s because most of my daily “blogging” occurs on Facebook and Twitter and I don’t think about putting it here. So, here’s a review of June 2023 to get us caught up and a hope to be more present here on the blog.
Linda started her summer outside of the Legislature staying busy with many different Democrat gatherings and meet-and-greets, including to traveling to neighboring counties where the local Democrats don’t have any representation in the House, but are looking forward to making it happen.
Another Royals game – a time-honored summer activity.
An evening out to hear Jess Piper, a Missouri Democrat working to make the rural Democrat voice heard. She’s a staunch supporter of public schools and maintaining individual rights. Included on the panel is our very good friend, Representative Mari-Lynn Poskin.
Ran the Fighting Fentanyl 5K, and met up with friends Kyle and Andrew.
The family took me to Blade & Timber Axe Throwing for a Father’s Day surprise. Anna was amazing at throwing the axes. I was downright pitiful, but the beer was good.
The best part of the outing was someone coming up to Linda, quietly, and stating “I know who you are and thank you for all you’re doing in Topeka”. It’s always affirming when someone you don’t know recognizes the hard work that is being done.
We went to Lawrence to watch “Something. Rotten”, including Julia Ruddy, the daughter of one of Linda’s best friends from high school. It was an absolute hoot!
Linda continued to tackle the back fence, listening to Royals games on the radio while staining the fence.
She also began to paint each of the bedrooms upstairs in preparation for new flooring.
Linda and I travelled to Wichita to see Chris Stapleton in concert, which included Marty Stuart as the opening act. Amazing concert.
We then travelled down to Oklahoma for some rest and relaxation with friends at Grand Lake.
We finished off June with a nice bike ride with friends on the Rock Island Trail, traveling from Lees Summit up to the Royals Stadium.
