I just dropped into the public library a minute to check my email and see who was eliminated from The Amazing Race. Go, hippies!

The plane was late getting in on New Year's Eve and I walked through the door of my place at just after midnight. So I decided to bag the Marquee show, since it would have involved digging out my car (my brother drove to the airport and we left his car there, so he offered me his, but he was going to see a friend and I didn't like to drive his car for the first time at night or leave him stranded--OR park his car on the side of the road!)

Anyway, the cats were glad to see me.

I'm unpacked and have done my laundry. Mitzi was glad to see me yesterday. I've cleared my parking spot, more or less. I still have no idea what time zone I am in. And I perceive that after last night's thunder-snowstorm, it's hailing again, so I think I might go home.

Bye-bye, Goths! I realize this means that rotten fighting couple is probably going to win the Race now, but at least the hippies are still in it with a chance!
