KC Weekend - January 19-21
Why not just lego this weekend?
THIS sounds like some geeky fun! Checkout the FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Robotics Tournament! Park University if bringing it to Kansas City for the first time ever! According to their
website:
For the first time in Kansas City, Park University is bringing the FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Robotics Tournament to the metro area on Saturday, Jan. 20 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the MCC-Business & Technology Campus in Kansas City, Mo. The event is funded by a grant from the Kauffman Foundation.
FIRST LEGO League is an international robotics program for students nine to 14, and serves to ignite their enthusiasm for discovery and engagement in science and technology. This annual event presents new, adventurous challenges each year based on the current issues of the day. Each team consists of a team coach, mentors and the students who work to:
1. Research and solve a real-world issue based on the year’s challenge theme
2. Present the research and solutions
3. Build an autonomous robot using engineering concepts to perform missions
The Kansas City FLL Challenge theme for this year is Nano Quest, and there are 29 teams with up to 10 members on each team registered for the tournament on Jan. 20.

Oh, baby, it's COLD outside!
So what makes me smile? The fact that the winter storm is about over, it wasn't as bad as the pundits predicted, and right now, there's even some sunshine coming through the window!
"Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happyyyyyyyyy."
OK, sorry about that.
Anyway, we're wel into the new year, and life is looking good! I hope it's the same for you!
SMILE! It's Monday!
Make Me Smile Monday - 1/8/2007
Here we are, one week into the new year!
The Chiefs did it again! They played like a junior high team for most of the game Saturday. Well, that's not fair. The DEFENCE did well for almost 3 quarters. Anyway, now we can smile about it. It's over. Watch the rest of the playoff games with no emotional investment. Enjoy!
Thanks Chiefs!

Happy New Year!
Can you believe it? The Chiefs are in the playoffs!
After TOTALLY writing them off two weeks ago, I'm now smiling at the absurdity of it all! We'll have to see what happens, won't we?
Today, the Chiefs are making me smile!
