I need to seriously think about my long term situation. I've literally only lived in Wichita (grew up there), Lawrence, St. Louis after KU for 4 years and KC now for almost 20 years. 48 now, sick of the mid-west, but my parents live here now (Dad is 80, Mom is 78), along with both my brothers and nephews and nieces, but I just can't stand Winter anymore. I could probably sell my house in Brookside for $300k, make $150k off the sale, of course have to find a new job, which scares the shit out of me. I think I'm having a mid-life crisis...lol. Not married, have a gf that I see 3-4 times month it seems since she works all the time and lives in south OP, probably won't marry her, not sure she wants to get married anyway. Oh well, anybody got any advice? Just tell me what to do and I'll do it...

the “only” issue i’ve got with it is the air quality. i can be downright awful at times...some of the worst in the country (and world at times), literally

this is my second stint in the area, and i really do love it. you can’t beat the mountain views. and, if it does get too cold or snowy for you, the desert is less than a day’s drive away...Moab is 3 hrs, Vegas is 6.

The number of great women to great men is about 10-1 as you hit middle age. Your problem is that you are tied down with a really part time gig. Find the right woman or women and the weather is irrelevant. Really enjoyed Alaska.

Alaska is awesome...Ketchikan in particular

I hate the term "middle age". It should be banned. I still have all my hair and just a tinge of grey on the temples.

all of my gray is in my beard, but i’m “only” 40

I probably have more gray in my chin beard (not really a beard, just haven't shaved in a couple weeks) than I have on my head.

Only if he's over 40. And only for like 5 more months (until I hit 40).

Ya'all a bunch of olds.
For 2 more years.

Ha, I'm 48. But honestly I don't look like your typical 48 year old. Most people think I'm in my late 30's or early 40's. I still have all my hair, not thinning or anything....lol.

So will it be two years in a row where the NFC gets a home game in the SB?

Yes, will be 3 years 2023 (Glendale). Not sure what's happening with 2024 and 2025 but one of those two years it will be in New Orleans.

The NFL's SB venue scheduling is about as ideal and fair as you could ask for. Rotate to warm weather and covered venues. Let the outdoor cold cities host NFL draft, etc.

They lose credibility, though, when they host it in New Jersey.

The fact that it took 55 Super Bowls before they even had a technically called home game tells you all you need to know about venue scheduling and if it is 'fair' or not.

The Star has made it a point during the Mahomes years to disregard all of the past 'Chiefsy' ways to lose. Kicker who shall remain nameless, the no punt game, the QB pass to himself for a TD, etc. Thinking back on it during this snow and freezing cold day all of the things that transpired that gave TB such an advantage before the game even started.
1. Fisher, one of these most important players on the entire team outside of Mahomes, Kelce and Hill blows his Achilles out in a game that was over.
2. Mahomes gets turf toe.
3. Chiefs have the best record in football and then a 'wildcard' Bucs team actually makes the Super Bowl in their home stadium. (Whether it made a difference or not I have had numerous people who were at the game tell me it felt and sounded like a Bucs home game)
4. On a Thursday, the week the team is set to travel the HC son gets drunk at the facility, hits a family on an exit ramp and causes severe damage to a five yr old girl.

The only thing in there that really matters is Fisher (and, that only mattered as much as it did because the line was already so depleted).

Hate road game championships though.
