Books. Yup, while our favorite nephews and niece are learning all about the world around them and realizing that obedience can be quite rewarding (what a cute idea, Lisa!), Joe and I decided last night to expand on our knowledge of the history of Kansas City. After grabbing a late lunch/early dinner, we headed over to the local library where we stocked up on some reading materials. We each checked out a book on Kansas City's history, which I find to be quite interesting. Right now I've gotten through to the 1880s, and discovered that back then, the City Market, the area where Joe and I first lived when we moved here, was the spot where over 40 bordellos and 250 "working women" used to live and work. Interesting. Glad it's not that way anymore!
Anyway, I also found Obama's The Audacity of Hope which I figured would be a good thing to have read. So now there's no excuse for late night TV watching - we have a lot of reading to do over the next week or so.
