Saturday was the first (of hopefully many) Listen To Your Mother events in Kansas City. I cannot tell you what a pleasure it was to be a participant. I read this piece (which I’m sure you’re all familiar with by now.) But it was the first time I’d READ the piece. Out loud. For others [...]

Anyway, the local Fraternal Order of Police is looking to get raises for the department, and it seems the City Council isn’t too keen on it. Other city employees are, but not law enforcement.

Dusting off the old blog…

By on October 20, 2009 in besties, nerdy apple/cop's wife, random, the detective

So CPA reminded me last night about this thing called blogging. Seriously, I forgot about this here thing. So I’m back. From outer space… (name that song) I caught up on CPA’s blog this morning which allows me to steal some ideas for later, like posting about books I’m reading or have recently read. That [...]
