MIDWEST MARATHON--Day 4

Milepost 1304.7--Arrival in Kansas City with an outside air temperature of 48 degrees accompanied by a bit of drizzle.  It's cold here and I have definitely brought the wrong clothes.

The big event of the day is Granddaughter Molly's graduation (with a Masters, no less) from the University of Missouri.  I'm not sure where she inherited her propensity for good grades and excellent study habits, but it wasn't her grandmother.

At her age, I would have been all over this.


Among a number of unwritten Mizzou rules, a student must "Ride the Tiger" before graduation, so Molly just checked that off her list.

Although a little more low key, Molly's parents are every bit as excited as Molly regarding her graduation--perhaps even more so.  One graduated, one to go.

It was a great day full of family, fun, food and great excitement.  CONGRATULATIONS, Molly.
