Wow, this is one helluva storm. I made it to Aurora on Wednesday night, before the blizzard arrived in force. Since then it’s been a constant howling wind and a massive amount of snow. I haven’t left my wife’s folks’ house for 48 hours. I am able to scrounge around on my old dial-up ‘net account that I had back when I was a teenager. For some reason, my parents never cancelled the service, even though they haven’t used it for years!

I brought along a few DVDs to pass the time. So far, I’ve watched The Hills Run Red and The Children (I’d give Netflix links, but the Netflix site destroys my dial-up connection). Both of these were fun movies. The Children, especially, is a perfect flick to watch while cooped up with family. I think people should definitely check that one out, it’s kind of offbeat and mean-spirited.

Please continue to send us Midwesterners some good vibes to get through this blizzard. Thanks!
