Outside the Office

Once a week, Kenyon and a group of long-time friends gather to watch a movie. Never a blockbuster, the friend who organizes the event is an aspiring filmmaker, and choices range among indie films, Japanese anime, and cult classics.

Around town, Kenyon, his girlfriend and her dog, a Bernese mountain dog named Harper, enjoy exploring Kansas City’s neighborhoods. They try new restaurants regularly and frequent the local dog park.
