With a Little Help from My Friends

A bit of a departure from the weary, dreary posts of late, possibly because I'm not home right now.  I'm in Carbondale at some friends' apartment.  I'm sick, and stuff at home was sucking really bad, so I jumped at the chance when they invited me down here.  Of course, that meant that Dad had to drive me down here right when the freezing rain was starting to freeze, but I needed to get out of Dodge.  Sounds like we're having the storm of the century back home, but right now I'm cooling my jets in the Dale.  Hooray.  Hope everybody stays safe and I'll be back soon!
