Home

Arrived home today at around 12:30. There was a threat of rain for the drive but I think we outdrove it in Iowa and it seems to not have arrived here at home yet. Other than that, what can I say? Now it is "snap back to reality"! It is so good to see Mary and Katrina again. We did have fun but I did miss them. I guess the house is going to be noisy again (they said the house was very quiet when we were gone!).

And so now I have to figure out the ventilation fan replacement on our Saturn (anyone know an affordable mechanic?) because it went out (it was Mary's car - not the one I drove); and, just to make things fun, we have a leak on our washing machine (anyone know a washing machine repairman?). Then catching up on work stuff. I think I will just take a nap now and deal with it afterwards!

One interesting note about the driving portion of the trip: type of music played. Talk about strange reverals. Alec was always wanting to hear the classic rock songs of the 70's and 80's. He had those on his PSP that he brought. My iPod has all kinds of music on it, much of it new. It would be funny that when I played the iPod in the car, he would put on his headphones and listen to his classic rock stuff. Shouldn't that be the other way around? I guess not. I like new and old stuff; he wants to hear AC/DC and Motley Crue. And that his typical of kids his age - I teach guitar to a few who are only into that. I don't know if that is a social commentary on pop music nowadays - I just thought that it was an amusing observation!

Pictures coming later...
