Sunday night the weather report said that there was a good chance of sleet, freezing rain, or snow. Columbia was supposed to get 1 to 3 inches of snow. Fortunately Ryan's (my brother-in-law) mother who came down from Rock Hill for Christmas dinner was spending the night. When we got up the next morning all we had was sleet.
Ryan and Sherry took his mother to the mall to buy her Christmas present. I vegged out and read. I then watched the Falcons lose and Carolina win.
We had leftovers for dinner.
Ryan and I watched the Sunday night NFL game. It really sucked. Sorry Ralph, but the Browns really suck this year.
Today (Monday) we drove over to Boykins on the Mill to get some grits for Ryan. He is a genuine Southerner. He grew up in Westville South Carolina. Anyway, Boykins was closed. Kershaw County got hit real bad by freezing rain. The trees were coated with ice. It was really beautiful. The people who lost power from broken branches falling on power lines probably had a different opinion.
Tonight we went to a real nice Italian restaurant called Travinia. It was good and very inexpensive.
Tomorrow I'm driving back to GOC Central where I can return to being my grouchy old self.
See ya then.

Gee Denny, tell me something I don't know! How Lerner can pay Butch Dumbass the remaining $12 million of his contract just boggles my fucking mind. He should have been sued for impersonating a football coach!
Posted by: Ralph Gizzip on December 29, 2004 05:56 PMLake Carolina? That's just down the street from here. Did you wave as you drove by? That's alright; we were at my mother-in-law's.

Dan - If you were near Hardscrabble I could have waved.
Posted by: Denny Wilson on December 29, 2004 08:47 PMBoykin's Mill is about 10 minutes from our house. I stayed home that day, didn't want to brave the local idiots trying to drive in that weather. The ice looks pretty but it's deadly. Glad you made it home okay.
