NancyGPTGeez to read the WaPo profile of Paul Rudd you’d think coming from Kansas was a childhood cancer he was able to triumphantly overcome. Of course being from Kansas, Rudd never implies that but the coastal press…
Being midwestern is not something to be ashamed of or to overcome or succeed despite. That’s such elitist BS and folks propagating it show their ignorance not their specialness.
When I went from U of Kansas to Microsoft people asked what the university to corporation transition was like, but the real transition was learning to cope with Cambridge people’s assumptions that I had been rescued from a horrible life and blessed with the opportunity to live like them when actually I had a great life and loved living in Lawrence KS very much.
Robert Russes@nancybaym Rock Chalk.
Having grown up next to the PRC & having spent several years in Leawood, Lawrence is better. 😉
@russes Lawrence is a very special place.
Gideon@russes @nancybaym I grew up in Kansas, went to KU, and lived in Lawrence for 8 years. I loved it! Going there to visit friends and family this weekend
