Midwest, redux.

I'm heading back to Kansas next week to help the family out after my dad's upcoming surgery. He's a trooper, and I'm sure he'll heal up just fine. :) I just want to be there to help out with whatever they might need. I'm looking forward to seeing family again - the downside of living so far away from my hometown is that I see my folks once, maybe twice a year. It's not enough, really, but we make the most of the time we do get, and we supplement with lots of calls and texts and photos.
So all things considered, it should be a good trip. And I took a quick look at weather.com-- this doesn't sound so bad either:
