Herding Cats

On Friday I was supposed to work 10 to 6 overtime, but due to my long walk in the cold Thursday, I asked if I could recouperate on what is supposed to be my day off. It was granted. I needed it to rest my legs and to recover from the cold as I started having symptoms of illness from it. I rested most of the afternoon and went to bed early Friday night. Saturday i worked 14:30 to 22:30 with Monica on a bush crash story involving elderly church people on their way to Branson. We went live from Englewood in Independence for the 10. Sunday I pulled my regular shift 6 to 14:00 with Kim. First time working with Kim in months. An Overland Park Police officer shot a guy who was lungeing at him in an apartment complex. We were live from there.One of Mine and Kim's liveshots from this morning. We packaged this story for the 9. I had requested my regular shift as Suyen desperately needed me to attend one of her co-workers' Christmas/retirement party...

Englewood in Independence is such a nice area especially when they put the Christmas lights up.

After dropping Suyen off at MTN, I went to the Harvey House in Union Station to have breakfast. On the way in I got this pic of the great house in the station, all decked out for the holidays.

When people said they would meet under the clock, they meant here in the entrance to the main waiting room in Union Station in Kansas City Missouri.

Every year for the past couple of years, they have set up a g scale model railroad in Union Station.

After our attempt at herding cats didn't go over so well, we tried just a simple (ha ha) portrait of both of us and the tree. Notice the ornaments on the tree. I've been buying those Hallmark keepsakes all year as they are just about the right size for "n" scale and cheaper than model railroad stuff. Oh, and they make great (ahem) ornaments too. Do you notice the modern house on the bottom there? That is actual "n" scale.

This is the same night. I just decided that darker colors were better for my rotund boodah form.
