Tuesday, December 29

6:41 a.m. - I didn't lose at the casino last night!  Whoop, Whoop!  Today's weather forecasts continue to predict a winter storm with 4-6 inches of snow.  If my officiating schedule holds, I'll be trying to get home just as it starts ramping up the snow machine.  I'm thinking about taking the truck, but then again, if I'm going to get in a wreck, I'd rather be in the HHR, so I think I'm going to go with that vehicle.  

President Trump signed the spending bill, so it appears that $600 will be heading my way as part of the stimulus plan.  I think I'll plan on keeping that in my savings account and maybe applying it to the work I'm going to be getting done on the HHR.

7:07 p.m. - I feel fortunate to be here right now jotting down these thoughts.  Driving on Interstate 80-280 in blizzard conditions isn't fun, but I'm here.  After arriving home, I shoveled out the driveway enough to get the car in the garage.  Then after that fun, I put away all the boxes of xmas ornaments and the tree.  Did I mention that I officiated six games at two different sites before all of that?  I'm beat...I'd like to believe I will sleep well tonight, but I probably won't feel very comfortable and won't sleep well.
