Christmas Week

Less than 5 days to christmas, and 13 days till I leave to fly home. All the snow is melted, and I don't think that we will get a lot more before I leave, so it won't really be much of a white christmas. But at least I have seen it snow and been out in it. Pity the last time turned from snow into an ice storm that cut power to everyone. Its a week later and some people in the worst areas still don't have power.

Its a good thing that our family is good at getting along with eachother, we have been squashed into the same little hotel room for 10 days now and still getting along fine. No one has fought with anyone else, and things are relatively tidy. There are only 5 more days of sharing. Then I am off with the band to Nashville for one last fling with the band before setting off on the lonnnnnnnnng trip home. I leave from Dullas airport at 7.30 in the morning, and get there when it is 11.30 (with a few hours time zone adjustment...) and then my flight doesn't leave until 9.30 at night. Ahhhh! What am I going to do with allllllll that time? Maybe I can go out into the city for a bit. But where would I go? And with all that luggage. I will just have to wander around watching people for the day. See how many random people I can get into a conversation. Hope that no one steals my bag...I would hate to have to beat them up over it...
