Still cold

Yesterday I made it to Thurmont at exactly the time I had planned on meeting Dean, despite a detour around Lucketts due to a downed telephone pole. Had lunch and went to the funeral home. All went well there and I find it so sad that families drift so far apart that funerals are the only thing that bring them together. But it is good to get together even for that reason.

Vicki got my dad there in all his glory...........Unironed shirt, crooked suspenders, hiking boots and, worst of all, pee stains on the front of his fly. Dear God, what can we do with him????????? Vicki says she knows she has to do something but, as usual, has no time till after tax season.

Today they are calling for sleet and ice and I am supposed to meet Lucy for a late lunch in the Tysons Corner area. Not a place I want to be for rush hour with ice on the roads. May have to beg off of this one.
