I made a quick trip to Chicago last weekend. Michelle was on a business trip where she had to fly into Detroit and drive around to do Energy Star Certification tests. I noticed she had a free day on Sunday and it was going to be in Chicago.
Some calls were made and a plan was conceived. I would fly into Chicago on Friday, hung out with Michelle for a few days and we'd fly out together on Tuesday.
It was blast! We saw Frank Lloyd Wright's home & studio, The Magnificent Mile, Wrigley field, The Museum of Science & Industry, the Millieum Park, a few comic shops and lots of bookstores.
By far thought, the best part of the trip was seeing our friends Kevin and Melanie and their kids Burke and Bailey.
I've known Kevin since grade school (his son told me 'now I know why my Dad is so weird!')
Burke also told me the other day he asked his Dad how long ago they invented elevators. Kevin told him three years ago.
I told him that's wrong, it was actually four!
Kev & Mel moved several years ago and ever since then D.L. Nelson and I have been looking for the "New Kevin".
(We nominated CB Cebulski, but he lives too far away and he's too popular to hang with us. But if he ever moves to Oklahoma City he may get the position. Unless somebody blackballs him.)
The low point was when we all had to leave and Bailey cried ("I don't want Miss Michelle to leave.) putting into words what we all felt.

Hey I've (almost) decided there is no replacement for Kevin. I mean he does carry a side arm. How cool is that. Anyway, I'm going to hold out until Kevin moves back to good old OKC. As if that would ever happen. Even if it did, I'm not sure Kevin '08 could replace Kevin '90 anyway.
Dude, after spending 36 hours with Kevin and melanie I think neither one of them have changed.
I had kind of wondered, be cause last time we saw them they lived in Hooker and Kevin kinda had that new-cop-gung-ho thing working.
I think he's adapted to being a cop and now he's back to normal.
Face it, we'll never find a new kevin. best we can hope for is the old one moves back.
