Snow Day

i have been living in the united states for about seven years now. that means that i have been driving in the united states for about six years now.

yesterday was the first time since being here that i was actually afraid that i might die whilst driving.

alright, i understand that the first real snow fall of the season is usually quite taxing on most people because it is the first time in a while that you have to remember/renew you winter driving skills. yesterday’s storm was something else completely. firstly, Bridget and i were driving separately so all the way home i was soo worried about her getting home safely.

secondly, it was whiteout conditions for a good third of my way home. for those of you who have not had the distinctive privilege of experiencing  “whiteout” conditions... well try driving with white paint on you windshield... there you go...

still i can’t complain... i do love this time of the year....

in other news:

if last (work) week was likened to cranial blunt-trauma, then this week can be likened to a mild beating by, oh i don’t know.... lets say the local school yard bullies. things have settled down a little and it is stable enough now that i can actually get home at a time that affords me the opportunity to actually see my wife. that’s nice. we may even take in a movie this weekend (The Prestige with Christian Bale and Wolverine).

only about six more skull-drudging weeks of work before Bridget and i embark on our highly-anticipated trip to Malaysia... and brother you better believe that we are counting the days (43 as of this posting)..... i'll have the laptop with me so hopefully i'll get to post more when i’m on vacation...

out for now...
