[<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.kansas.com\/news\/crime-courts\/story\/904503.html\" >Here&#8217;s an article that Ron Sylvester wrote about Highlands closing<\/a>.]<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I immediately sent text messages to Kurt and Shane to find out what&#8217;s going on.  It turns out that Highlands has closed temporarily following the judgment on Thursday.  They are only closed until they can resume playing KANDU, so it&#8217;s not like they&#8217;ve closed their doors for good. Everyone is hoping for a favorable judgment in September and that Highlands will re-open thereafter.<\/p>\n<p>The baseball game was a bust. I&#8217;m not sure if it was the two bottles of peach lambic I drank at Old Chicago or the news of Highlands closing that made me sick.  Brian and I decided to go home early and didn&#8217;t finish the game.  <\/p>\n<p>It was nice having dinner with Brian&#8217;s coworker Kate and her husband, though.  They are a lovely couple.  We met their eldest daughter, Chelsea, and her husband Jeremy at the baseball game.  Chelsea, who is 5&#8217;11&#8221; tall, was looking very much like Cameron Diaz that day.
