SchMaui15: amazing Hawaiian experiences
Guest post by Lee Ladies and gentlemen, I have been to the Great Wall of China, I have seen the Pyramids of Egypt, I’ve even witnessed a grown man satisfy a camel. But never in all my years as a sportscaster have I witnessed something as improbable, as impossible, as what we’ve witnessed here today!* These are the comments that were going through my head after some amazing experiences that have occurred over the past few days in Hawaii. Day 2 in Hawaii After spending the morning of our first full day on Maui snorkeling and the morning of our second day snorkeling, MeLinda and I decide to try our hand at…

#Schummer14: Day 21-23 recap of Summer of Schnyder ~ Cape Cod, Massachusetts
The subtitle of this post, written jointly by Lee & MeLinda, is: 43 {miles & years} ~~~ We were already three weeks into our month-long road trip from Kansas to Maine and still hadn’t had any completely relaxing days where we laid by the pool or on the beach reading a book all day. We’re not complaining – we were on a 30-day vacation after all; we are just explaining that most of our days were full of activity. As we drove toward Cape Cod on a Monday morning, Day 21 of our month-long road trip, we figured this might finally be the time to stop for a day and…

#Schummer14: Day 19 recap of Summer of Schnyder ~ nowhere to stay
In our many travel adventures we have always been able to find a hotel even if it’s at the last minute. A lot of the time we use Hotwire, Priceline, etc. because I love a deal and hate to pay full price for a room.

When I worked at the corporate offices of Candlewood Hotel I always had a pretty good idea of what the typical room would go for and what the Priceline price should be. We have many…

#Schummer14: Day 3 recap Summer of Schnyder
Today’s post brought to you by Lee Canada is the place to go to learn about the things that died in America’s educational system along with some interesting quirks. It’s also a time to realize the advantages to living in Canada. You remember the metric system. Americans were able to discard those silly measurements like kilometers, litres, and Celsius back in the 70s. Canada never received the memo and still uses the metric system. The first speed limit sign I saw showed 100. Awesome, driving in Canada is going to be fun! But after metric translation, it was only 60 mph. Though I will say Canadians drive quite a bit…

Lee’s memories from 365 home Wichita State basketball games
Guest post by Lee UNDEFEATED. Who would have thought those would be the last words of the fans at the end of a Wichita State basketball season. I made it to 15 of the 17 home games this year and not many were close. The longtime Wichita State fan in me is used to nail-biters that have previously ended in a bad way. Earlier in the year the WSU athletic department highlighted a man who had been going to Shockers games for more than 50 years, and this got me curious about how many games I’ve been to in my life. I don’t fall into the category of the super…
