I just came back from a weekend in St. Louis. This was the first trip I made with the kids to St. Louis. Everyone there was happy to see us (see my sister's and my parent's blog entry), and I got a kick out of interacting with my niece and nephew. Besides that, all my relatives came over for an open house, so I got to see all of them, which was great.
I also met my old friends Hal, Greg, Brian, and Amanda. Greg gave me a copy of the Riverfront Times Best of St. Louis issue. It was an interesting read, and I wish I had a little more time in St. Louis to try out some of the places mentioned. This last weekend was actually the 100-year anniversary of the famous 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, and the 200-year anniversary of the Lewis & Clark expedition. Greg, Brian, Amanda, and I discussed, among other things, our quest to find the Father of Nitro, so we can somehow get more Nitro. I'm not sure how that's going to work, but I've put in a few inquiries already, and hopefully we can contact him.
I wound up in Atlanta with Greta's sister. Greta and the kids are staying there, while I make the move to New York, find a place, and make it livable.
I fly out on Saturday.
