I can hardly peck this out knowing all my nearest and dearest, except for just the few who are here, are suffering the wicked woes of winter in western PA. Ya like my alliteration? I won't even say how nice the weather is hear, like the mild temperatures, the bright sunshine. Had to put my contacts in so I could wear sunglasses. Sorry, shouldn't have said that. We are supposed to get some strong thunderstorms, if that makes anyone feel any better.

Today was a good one. Just hanging out, napping, eating at the Bahama Breeze. YES! Still, I am so tired most of the time. As I said before I hope to find my way back and beyond to my sweet spot with the Lord. I have been lazy and negligent. I need so much more of Him.

Trapped. I'm trapped here in Harrisburg. The trip from the home office to my hotel, which is about 9 miles and usually takes about 15 minutes... took almost two hours. Traffic at standstill. Accidents. While I'm sitting on I-83 south... not moving at all... I'm seeing cars sliding DOWN exits... sideways. And then I notice it's not snowing anymore. No, it's now freezing rain.
But God got me home. Well, to the hotel. More precisely, to the Chinese restaurant by the hotel, and then into my room. Crank the heat. Lounge on the king size bed.
Enjoy your sunshine, Sandy! I'm exhausted.
Oh Rob,
I have heard horror stories and I have been sent a few pics on my phone. Your word picture does well at 'splaining what I am missing. Stay safe.
I think you should get a web cam (or your Mac probaly has one in it based on the Mac/PC commercials I have seen) and work from home. Tell the people you are to go see to give you a video tour and just talk over the computer... Be careful Rob. That sounds pretty scary. I know when I am in weather like that my shoulder starts to really hurt because I am so tense and stiff when driving... Hope you took some tea to enjoy. I want to go back to bed just reading that story...
Sandy - hope the warm weather is soothing your bones and your soul...

The worst part, or the funniest part... NOW... is that I started to have a chain-reaction of anxiety:
...what if I have to pee? I mean, I'm TRAPPED in traffic, and it's starting to rain ice... would people understand if I just... I don't know... peed... somewhere...? Where are my water bottles... I mean, I just DRANK a half-gallon of water... oh yeah, I tossed them before I got in the car...
...what if I run out of gas... I have half a tank, but what if I freeze to death and run out of gas and they find me sitting in frozen pee...
...what if that car, sliding backwards, hits me, since I can't really move... and that would MAKE me pee, but that would be acceptable, because, you know, a car just hit me...
Climbing onto my toasty-warm bed, last night, you would've thought I had just reached the top of Kilimanjaro.
The ice this morning wasn't as bad as two weeks ago, in Altoona. The roads in Harrisburg were mostly okay this morning, and fine when I left, around 4.
I have video conferencing, Vicki! Even more than phone conferences.
I'm not leaving my apartment until Friday, for Friday classes...
There are two types of people in this world... Those who love Neil Diamond... and those who don't...
Your last entry Rob reminded me of that scene in "What about Bob?"
What if your bladder exploded?... oh no...
(A little TMI, but I thought it was pretty funny...)
