• So the latest is that winter arrived- we had a beautiful, Christmas-y snow. 
• Also spinouts, wrecks and 90 minute commute times. 
• Fortunately no one we know was a spinout or a wreck.
• Rose and I bopped up to the cowboy state on Monday and celebrated Martin Luther King Day there. 
• We went to the state capitol, got our photograph taken by an American Bison (not ALIVE, silly). 
• Ok.  The photograph was not taken BY THE BISON ITSELF.  They have hooves.
• It was taken by a senator. 
• And we were NEAR a bison.  Behind plexiglas.
• Um, also the teen has been avoiding trouble for the last 10 days. 
• I was invited to, get this, an ORGANIZING PARTY. 
• Hostess claims she invited ALL her friends, that the invite was not to be taken as some kind of categorization.
• huh.
• It's not that we are going to go to her home to organize it, although that idea has merit, come to think of it.
• It's like a tupperware party.  To get organized.
• huh.
• Anyway, it is at the home of a flippin' delightful mom, and I will have a great time regardless.
• (And can I tell you that she wants to get organized because she is too slavishly adherent to her organizing systems?!!! What the...?  She says they have become gods unto themselves, these systems.)
• (So I said, that is why you are never invited to my home, Liz.  It's a GODLESS WASTELAND.)
