And thank YOU for the meal!

It was a great steak, and I had smashed potatoes (great) and onion strings. The latter tasted great, but my stomach was heart-burny later.
But I lucked out, in that I only had one TV in front of me and one off to the side. Also, while ANY piped-in music is a PITA, it was less obnoxious than some. Not much, but a litte.

Having lived in some of those states that aren't supposed to get that sort of weather, it doesn't matter how good a driver or their car/tires are when they're faced with ice and inadequately cleared roads.

I am very sick of the cold. Most of the time, it feels like it's too much to go outside unless I have to. This is definitely not a healthy way to look at winter.
