Just FYI, I don’t plan on having any updates until the end of the month due to traveling.
FLY HIGH, JAYHAWKS!

It’s Monday morning, January 20, 2025, and the clock is steadily working its way toward 8AM Central time.
Our nephew is housesitting and helping Anna’s mama Lala until we return in 10 days.
As I write this Anna & I are checked out and sitting in the lobby of the Arakur Ushuaia Resort & Spa awaiting the 11 AM local time hotel shuttle to downtown Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. From there in a few hours we will board the Albatros Expenditions ship OCEAN VICTORY for a voyage across the Drake Passage and back as we sojourn for a few days Way Down Under on Antarctica, the 7th Continent. (Makes all 7 for me, and we are planning for Africa in the not-*too*-distant future so Anna can complete her “Set foot on all 7 Continents” bucket list item.)
This is the last day we will enjoy reliable (if any) WiFi and/or cellular service until we return to port in Ushuaia. Our estimated return here is the evening of January 28. We are scheduled to begin our air journey back to the USA the next morning, and should be back in Lawrence the afternoon of January 30, if (as Grandma D used to say) “the good Lord’s willin’ and the crick don’t rise!”
Missed the win over K State.
(The prices one pays for sojourning!)
We know you all will keep rooting hard for our young men and women while we are in absentia.
We’ll be back with you soon!
KEEP GOING, JAYHAWKS!

Enjoy HE, 7 continents is a great item to cross off, and something I am fortunate to have done. We should raise a glass next time I am in LFK. Hawks and Chiefs both delivered big W’s, hopefully once your return the Hawks will be 6-2 with a w/ over UH and the Chiefs will be preparing for another SB.

We're going to Africa at the end of Feb. We arrive home on 15 Mar, the day before the brackets are released (fortuitous timing as that wasn't considered when we made our plans).
Antarctica is on my bucket list (not my wife's...)
