Imagine outside it’s 80 degrees, birds a-chirpin’, college kids running around downtown in shorts and tank tops, convertibles with tops down. Then try to imagine it’s March 1 in Kansas. Screeeeeeech! Cognitive dissonance! Strange, but true. March 2 and comes not only my birthday but a blast of arctic air that drops the temperature by 20 degrees. That’s more like it! Except, it’s still 60 degrees and the birds are a-chirpin’ and the college kids are running around in shorts and tank tops and the convertibles are scooting around with tops down. Well, I ain’t complainin’.
Today we saw the Cirque du Soleil Delerium show in Kansas City. Way loud, and they frequently and without warning flashed extremely bright lights directly in our eyes. When you recovered you could see on the other side of the arena they were using lights to make patterns on the audience. We left with headaches and ringing ears, but otherwise it was a pretty great show! Younger people could probably tolerate the assault better. The weather, at least, was a little more realistic, cloudy and rainy and windy and like 45 degrees. Kind of like, well, San Francisco.
But, geez, it’s March already! KU just played it’s last regular season game (beat K-State in Manhattan, in return for their beating us in Lawrence). If Texas loses tomorrow KU wins Big 12 championship, if Texas wins then KU and Texas tie for championship.
