Here is Westley and I at our seats in Arrowhead for the Chiefs game last Sunday. I got these personalized jerserys for us. Westley has # 19 because he is not quite not a full "20" yet. LOL...

We yelled and cheered so much that when we went back to St. Louis, we were both horse.

This is what the parking lots at the Truman Sports Complex looks like on Sundays when the Kansas City Chiefs are in town.

Bar-B-Q, music, Bar-B-Q, laughing, Bar-B-Q, throwing footballs around, Bar-B-Q, drinking (beer and soft drinks), and did I mention Bar-B-Q?

Some people have "Special" vehicles that they drive ONLY on game day to Arrowhead. Banners, Flags, and Posters adorn the parking lot, mix in amongst the cars, trucks, vans, and RVs.

And RED everywhere!

Tailgating

Here is a picture of me and my sister Connie.

Her husband, ED, is standing at the far right side of the picture.

They have had Chiefs season tickets for about 15 years now. And they go tailgating with a group of their friends.

Everyone of the guys want me to get them the personalized Chiefs jerseys for them, the next time I am in Osan, South Korea.

Westley and I want to thank Connie and Ed, and all their tailgate friends, for letting us join them. We both had a great time. It was Westley's first time at a NFL game. And once he has been at Arrowhead, every other stadium just won't measure up.

Arrowhead

Westley and I went to see the Chiefs game Sunday. We went with my sister, Connie, and my brother-in-law, Ed.

We started at 9:00 am by "tailgating" for 3 hours in the parking lot at the Truman Sports Complex.

Then the game vs the Vikings.

Then the 3 hour drive home.

More pictures to follow throughout the week.

By the way.......

CHIEFS 13 - VIKINGS 10

CHIEFS WIN!!!!!!

Kansas City

Susan and I are in Kansas City with our oldest grandchild, Westley.

Westley is staying with my parents and helping grandpa "20".

Susan's mom is still not doing too well. They are going to give her a blood transfusion Monday.

Westley and I are going to the Chiefs vs Vikings game tomorrow. We are going to Arrowhead Stadium at 9:00 am for a noon game time. We are going with my sister Connie and my brother-in-law Ed to tailgate. You have never been to a football game until you go to Arrowhead for an experience of a lifetime. And it all starts with the tailgate parties prior to the game. And during the National Anthem, when they get to the part that goes..."and the land of the free, and the home of the CHIEFS!" Everyone yells that last word instead of "home of the brave". Then during the whole game the entire field level seat never sit in their seats. They stand the whole game!

GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!

Home Again....

Sorry I haven't updated my blog since I left Alaska. But the Internet service in NYC at the Five Towns motel we stay at was down the 3 days I spent there.

Got back home yesterday at 1:00 pm.

Travel department was going to send me home via Atlanta, GA on AirTram. Just a few problems with the itinerary (LGA-ATL-STL) was that I was going to be traveling about 10 to 11 hours for a 2 hour flight (JFK-STL). Then, AirTran doesn't even fly into St Louis (STL). Also was the fact that I would have gotten to STL at about 5:35 pm.

We pick up Natalie (granddaughter) each Wednesday for a 3 hour visit each week. So it was going to be hard for Susan to pick me up at the airport and pick up Natalie by 6:00 pm.

I got them to send me home via Islip, NY on Southwest Airlines, to BWI (Baltimore) then to STL.

Trip home on American Airlines was going to cost the company $650.00 (JFK-STL). The flight I took was about $220.00.

Home until October 1st. Then start another 17 days.

We will be in Kansas City for the weekend. Susan's mother still not doing too well. And we are taking my oldest grandchild, Westley with us to visit his Granny B (Susan's mom) and Grandma & Grandpa "20".

I will report back in Sunday night after we get back.

Anchorage

Day 3 in Anchorage.

Scheduling has taken me off my line. I leave tomorrow am for ORD (Chicago-O'Hare) and then to JFK.

Finish up my line on Wednesday and go home.

Not much happening other wise.

No picture for today.
