A Wild Week in Kansas City

I confess i love baseball, soccer (UEFA)  and football (American style). When the KC Chiefs brought home a victory on Monday night football I was pretty excited along with hundreds of thousands of other Kansas Citians. Then last night in what can only be described as a heart stopping moment, those magnificent KC Royals became officially the boys of October when they defeated the Oakland A’s in the 12th inning of a game that they led, then fell behind and then tied. Kansas City was rocking, horns were honking, people were in the streets shouting waking up sleeping neighbors.  Wednesday has brought us still another honor as President Barack Obama welcomed Sporting KC our national championship soccer team to the White House.  On Thursday we will  play our first National Playoff Game in 29 years.   What a sweet time to live in KC.

Andy Warhol The Oracle of Our Time?

I have been reading the most famous quotes of Andy Warhol and he may have been the oracle of our time.  He saw the future and was able to articulate what it would be and his observations about art show his true genius.

“An artist is somebody who produces things that people don’t need to have.”

“Since people are going to be living longer and getting older, they’ll just have to learn how to be babies longer.”
