Life in the Polar North Returns

Life in the Warm Caribbean . . . caput
Life in the Polar Narth . . . returns

We are home. The good news: it is not nearly as cold as I imagined it being in my mind. The bad news: It is still much, much colder than Fort Lauderdale.

Other good news: five of our six bags survived the long flight to Minnesota and the cold drive back to Rochester. Other bad news: we left one of our bags in Minneapolis on accident and have to drive back there today to retrieve it.

More bad news: Our flight last night was delayed an hour in St. Louis. Other good news: The captain felt so bad that we were delayed on New Years Eve that he bought a drink for everyone on board the plane. Too bad I don't drink!

Only good news: Our friends Christo and Melissa called us just as we landed last night and invited us over for a fantastic Indian meal. There really is no bad news to this story as our fridge is currently full of butter and water.

More good news: We brought in the New Year with our great friend Hans and his girlfriend Rachel and her family at their home here in Rochester playing Mexican Dominoes. This was a great time even though JB and I both got cremeated. Better news: I beat JB!

I am actually glad to be home despite all the snow and ice on the ground. Happy New Year Everone! May 2006 be a blessed year for everyone.
