No, I did not die, though some may have been wondering. Through a series of events: hotels with no or bad wireless networks, hideous driving times, actual work being done, personal fun being had, and blogger’s lethargy–I have neglected A Clown in the Middle.
I have 3 things to say to the few dozen people [...]

Blipey uses the Batman Logic
A couple of weeks ago I wondered why there was a phone in my hotel bathroom. I was assured that it wasn’t just that I was in Kansas.
Well today, in Utah, I walked into my hotel bathroom and discovered a phone.
Some people may let this situation throw them. I remembered a scene from [...]

Where Blipey has been the last 2 weeks
That’s from the top of Loveland Pass, Colorado, elevation 11,990 ft.
I haven’t posted any photos of the tour in quite some time, so I thought I’d fix that. The last two weeks have been spent in Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah. Below the fold are a few more of the very cool things I’ve [...]

I-70: Western Run, this game rated X, for extreme
Driving Interstate 70 in Utah between Green River and Salina is much like a video game. At any time one or more of the following may decide to spontaneously cross the roadway: deer, elk, rabbits, boulders. While driving at night, you may want to get the best view of possible “Frogger obstacles” ahead [...]

If only my legislators worked so hard :(
It must be a slow legislative day in New Mexico. There is actually a bill in the house chamber that seeks to restore Pluto to planet status. This would only be binding in the State of New Mexico. Oh, and what the hell? Does the legislature of New Mexico have nothing [...]

One for the good guys
It is said that if someone likes a thing they’ll tell one person and if they hate the thing they’ll tell a dozen. Well, having spent my life as a bartender and/or actor, I find this to be completely true. That’s why I’m taking the time to recognize a couple places that just [...]

NHL n KC on thin ice?
The on-going saga of Kansas City landing an NHL team got even less clear last night. The Pittsburgh Penguins have been having problems securing a new arena and have threatened to move if they don’t get a deal done. Team officials have visited KC and toured the New Sprint Center site (due to [...]

Blipey as a Slam Poet
Yes, scary as that may seem, it could be true. Poetry Alive! called today to see if I want to tour with them next year. I think I do, but am waiting to see if a couple better (read: non-touring) jobs pan out.
Now, Poetry Alive! does both domestic and international tours, so that [...]

Woke up–thought I was in LA
Seriously. Now, back in KC we have Johnson County, Kansas to hold up the strip mall cause. Those of us who live on the Missouri side often make fun of Johnson County, especially the city of Overland Park (OP), for just this reason. Overland Park is the fastest growing city in Kansas [...]

Blipey learns about bison bison!
No, that’s not a typo; bison bison is the actual scientific name for bison (the American buffalo). Kind of goofy, but bison are not goofy animals at all. They are super cool. We spent the weekend in Cheyenne, Wyoming where my dad and step-mom met up with us. This morning we [...]
