I'll Be Home For Christmas

I hope you are too. We drove through some crap yesterday that scared me enough, and that was nothing compared to what this storm seems to be brewing up. Kinda funny how the little ones change your thinking on such matters. We left Des Moines from a Schwartz family Xmas. We thought we could get out in front of the storm, but we couldn't. By the time I realized we were hosed, we were already too far to make any sense out of turning back. We made it to Williamsburg. There's a nice little convenience store there. The girls terrorized the place, but it was a cheerful terrorization, so I didn't make too big of a deal out of it. Finally, we decided to dig out my laptop and a movie. This did did the trick until the storm passed and the plows went through.

Three years ago my sister and her husband (boyfriend or fiance then) rolled their car on their way back from a Xmas gathering. They made out okay, but obviously that could have went either way. Point is, it's just not worth it folks. It's nice to see family around the holidays, but it shouldn't be for the wrong reasons.
