UPDATED: How Mister Ginger Spent His Summer

Fall is here, and with it an accounting of how Mister Ginger spent his summer.

June – In June MrG traveled to Washington DC and Kansas City. The DC trip included staying at the hotel where President Reagan was shot in 1981. Interestingly (at least to MrG), the KC trip did not include actually entering Kansas. It turns out that Kansas City, MO is much larger than Kansas City, KS. MrG has somehow visited all of the states that border Kansas, but never Kansas. This is just the kind of odd fact that he not only keeps track of, but likes to share. Aren't you glad he finally posted something?!?

Late in June—actually on the first full day of summer—MrG and PoMonkey moved to downtown Chicago. They now live in a 75 year old warehouse that has been converted to condos. Their unit overlooks a rail yard, and from their deck one can occasionally see hobos gathering around campfires, eating from their bindles, and swapping stories.




Coming soon: July (planes, trains, and hotels), August (no travel for MrG), and September so far (automobiles).

A post from Mr G is like a drop of water on my tormented tongue: infrequent but always good. The warehouse/condo displayed on your mailout made me want to visit. Now I know to come with all my worldly goods contained at the end of a stick. Look forward to more informational updates.

(The word below that I have to retype to post my comment is "ambln" which is pretty close to Amblin, Spielberg's company. Providence?!)

There would've been room for me too, but I think Bailey got in first.

Taran,

Come on up, there's plenty of room. We have a guest bedroom (with bed) and a sofa bed. So far, Bailey has been sleeping our bed, radiating heat like a Duraflame.
