FIELD OF DREAMS

Grueling day yesterday. Up at 4 a.m. to make a 6 a.m. flight to Kansas City from DFW. Spent the morning in KC and Overland Pass, KS, then caught a six-seat Beechcraft to Orange City, Iowa, bouncing up and down in an alarming way the last half hour of the trip. I'd never been to Iowa, and the manufacturing/distribution facility I was visiting was constructed right there next to the tiny airport, which was surrounded as far as the eye could see by corn fields. The smell of fertilizer was overwhelming, even with the gusty wind. Back to KC in the late afternoon and on to Dallas, getting me home around 11 p.m.

A mere 24 hours spent without watching, listening to or reading the news gets you really out of touch! Seems there've been LOTS of doings, and I'll try to catch up tonight.
