Many thanks to LittleTooClean and Perks! :D I didn't know that page existed. Am also enjoying hearing 08's "Santa Claus is Going To Hell." Ha! I'm already getting tired of Christmas music and that song is the perfect buffer.

And thanks to everyone else for the reviews. Glad you all had an awesome night!

Hey folks! Wow has it ever been a while since I've posted! Anyway, just read this article and thought, in light of the winter storm that's now striking the country, eek! Amazing time on the scheduling for this and the Fargo show (only in hindsight), not that this was ever a factor when they finalized these dates. :P How many of you would've made it there if, say, they were scheduled this weekend instead of the last?

So frustrated. Get up anyway.
So complicated. Changes every day.

So the darkness fades
And the light, will come shining through.

Yes, the timing ended up being perfect. It started snowing later in the night after the Fargo show, but not too bad, at least, not too bad in North Dakota along I-94, so our driver home was fine. This current snow & bitter cold is normal weather for December up here in the great white north, which is why I was stressing out so much about road conditions last year and this year too, although I managed to keep my stressing out this year off the board for the most part. It was easier on my nerves this year because the weeks leading up to the show's date were extremely nice, more like very early fall.

Today when I was watching the Weather Channel (no, I don't actually WATCH the Weather Channel, but you know what I mean) I was just thinking about how Dave is probably home in sunny New Orleans and Tommy is home in sunny Burbank and poor Dan and Michael are stuck up there in the blizzard. :P Oh well, our boys are used to it. And for all I know they're all together up in the Twin Cities, but I just thought it was kinda funny...

Traversing similiar pathways, as I am digging out the front yard. Houses on hills stink when the snow is blowing. And thinking, did I realy choose to go to MN in December two years in a row for vacation ?!?! And yeah it was worth it and yeah I like snow! It looks and feels like Christmas!
