Marriage has its good points and its bad. The good:
1. Always having a ride to and from the airport.
2. That second income, or in my case, the first.
3. Comfort in a storm.
Oops, scratch number three. My husband has gone out into a raging blizzard--dubbed "the storm of the century" by some overzealous TV weathermen-- for no good reason. The news reports advise the citizenry to "stay in your home," advice I am happily following. It's beautiful to look at--the snow coming down hard and the wind whipping it into a frothy frenzy--but certainly not great driving weather, I would bet.
Alas, the poor man is addicted to exercise and he has gone to the gym. I suppose it could be worse, and in fact it has been: my first husband was a druggie. Nevertheless, albeit because of a healthier choice, I am still waiting by the window, well past the hour of his expected return, hoping his car appears in the whiteout but imagining it in a ditch on the side of the road, flashing hazard lights unseen by all the smart people who did stay home.
So here's my point: Be careful who you marry. The annoying relatives are just the tip of the iceberg.

Details: Although people in DC have no idea about this, if you just drive SLOWLY, as everyone in Maine knows, driving is FINE. Followed a steady line of cars on the freeway to Brunswick going 40. No problem.
ReplyDeleteGym workout was tough. She shoulda been more worried about that.
Yes, I don't mind driving in the snow. I take it slow, just like Mitch says. Unfortunately, many of my fellow "roadies", do not follow that practice. Hence, working from home today.
