Welcome to Sunday Summary, the meme in which I attempt to summarize the week that came before. The week started off with my hometown American football team, the Kansas City Chiefs, winning the Super Bowl championship game, ending the season that began last August.

Welcome to Sunday Summary, the meme in which I attempt to summarize the week that came before. As I write this, my dear Kanchana is in Bangkok for her monthly doctor's checkup (she missed last month's appointment so it was doubly important that she make the journey this time around).
