The last couple of weeks we have been in Kansas City and Dallas to visit the kids and grandkids. We also made a road trip to College Station Texas for Iowa State/A&M football game. Very interesting traditions @ A&M. Joined in the Friday midnight Yell Practice on campus, cadet band members dressed in Halloween costumes, watched the cadet corp "step off the Quad" before gametime; great half time show by the cadet band; and stayed at a nice B&B right next to campus.
