Christmas 2008
Yay, Christmas. I’m still foggy on why it is that the price of gas has dropped by three dollars over the last four months, but my air fare to Boise is more expensive than it was last year. I guess that’s not the most important thing in the world to focus on, but I’m worried about money. We’re all worried about money.
I flew into Boise on Tuesday, rented a car, and had some food with Jay at a burrito place in a strip mall. Afterwards, I had a 65 mile drive through snow and ice to my grandmother’s house. I’m totally not used to driving in snow. I went really slow.
A fun three days followed of hanging out with my family and doing a tag team mix session with Jay. There’s something cathartic about being mostly away from the internet (not completely, thanks to my iPhone). I shoveled Grandma’s driveway twice, visited with my family, and found a new lock for my storage box (without actually getting to open it up–it was snowed shut).
The night I was heading back to California, though, it snowed a foot or so. There’s nothing quite a much fun as driving back to the airport in a rental car with an inch of ice on the freeway.
Now to let my wallet recover.
