"From the getting-a-life department, yesterday i made a valiant effort to go ski. But the winter storm was still up in the mountains, and when I passed 6 stuck cars and a stuck bus, and started fishtailing myself on the narrow highway, I decided discretion was the better part of valor and decided to try again another time."

Sometimes the trip alone is where the memories are made. A few years ago I took my work team out for a Christmas dinner. We went to this little old country store/barn where they cook steaks and have live music. It's not much to look at, but always a lot of fun. Anyway, there were about 8 of us in our party so I rented a large passenger van and drove the crew 30 miles out into country to this little old isolated steak place. We had more fun driving there and back, singing tipsy Christmas carols and laughing the whole time.

The steak dinner, I don't remember so much, but the ride there and back will never be forgotten.
