Live from KCI ... Rather MCI
The airport here in Kansas City is known as "KCI". However, if you go to try and make a reservation using that three-digit airport code, you won't be coming here.
Kansas City's three-digit code is "MCI". Like the old phone company. Remember then?
As I'm sitting here in the terminal waiting on my 5:00 p.m. Continental flight home (for those of you who want to stalk me ... I'm teasing), I had some guy walk up to me, serious as can be, and asked, "Do you coach for the Texans?"
"Sure, me and Gary Kubiak," is what I wanted to say, but, of course, I said "No, I don't."
With the proliferation of professional sports team gear, anybody can dress like a team employee. But let's face it, do you think I *really* look like a coach for an NFL team? Yeah, right.
The other funny thing that I saw was a T-shirt with this on the front:
"Leavenworth Penitentiary: A Gated Community"
Finally, for today's dose of humor, I received the following in my company e-mail from the folks in our Houston office. Yes, I'm going to rush and sign up for these:
Option A: Tuesday, June 17th, 6:30 to 9 p.m.
STEAK 5 WAYS -- Keep in mind: steaks are not always off the hoof. This high stakes menu includes: Carpaccio of Beef with Wasabi Crème Fraîche; Pan-Seared Tuna Steaks on Warm Green Beans, Garlic & Tomato Salad; Dry-Rubbed New York Strip Steak; and Sliced Beefsteak Tomatoes. $60.00 per person
Option B: Saturday, June 21st, 6:30 to 9 p.m.
WINE 101 -- Practice the art of swirling and sniffing. Master the three components of tasting wines – beginning, middle and finish. You’ll hone your skills on these six wines, learning to identify their basic characteristics: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Riesling. A light dinner will be served before the tasting. $70.00 per person
Option C: Wednesday, July 2nd, 6:30 to 9 p.m.
SUSHI 101 -- Learn to make: Miso Soup; California Roll; Handrolls; Mason Maki ( a Sushi specialty roll with Hawaiian Albacore Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna & Soy Vinaigrette); and Shrimp Tempura Roll. $65.00 per person
Yes, I know that I'll get slammed for being a stereotypical, neanderthal and culturally insensitive male, but I'll surely crave your attention forever. :)
And finally, I learned this in the parking lot of the Embassy Suites Wednesday night ... from the hood of a U.S. Border Patrol vehicle in Overland Park, Kansas. Wednesday was the 84th birthday of the federal agency. My question though was: "What border were they trying to protect there? The Kansas/Missouri border?"
