I got back from Kansas City yesterday. I went on a business trip to do a factory acceptance on a machine Zimmer had to send back to the vendor for a rebuild. I was glad I got back yesterday so I didn't have to fly on 9/11. I was by myself, and didn't have the vendor pay for all sorts of food, drinks, and Lakers tickets like the trip to L.A. in May, but the guys at the plant told me that the Royals had a promo going on with Krispy Kreme where if the Royals get 12 hits in a game, all the ticket holders get a free dozen donuts. So, I went to a Royals game. It was less than memorable, as I already have forgotten nearly everything about the game except they lost to Cleveland and got 11 hits. I also never got to any of those famous Kansas City steakhouses (if there are any...I just assumed) because I didn't feel like extending the effort to find one by myself. I ate at Ruby Tuesday twice.
