good morning! Busy weekend.

winter storm mess: 20 minute drive took over 45 minutes today. Complicated by train crossing signals being activated and no train. Icy mess, rush hour, one of the busiest streets in town, and that happens.

I crashed at the end but I did enjoy the Aether Salon for today

79 Fahrenheit today!

now we are not allowed to have a phone in our pocket at work, even if it is turned completely off. If I put it in a drawer, it is going to get left at work.

Pope Francis, eh?

result of review at work: I didn't get fired. It is a scored review system; my score would correspond to a C+ on a 4.0 GPA scale. Raise about equal to a cost of living adjustment.

Just read letters sent to my great great great grandmother, telling her of her husband's fate at Chicamauga. We'll see if I can stop crying in a bit.

going with the pics of everyone as kids, me with my mother at my first Christmas (1973).

I'm tired and more than a bit grumpy tonight. I hope I make it to another Steelhead meeting someday.
