The flight out of LAX went smoothly - except for the "five minutes" we needed to wait for out gate to clear up before taking off, which turned out to be closer to 35 minutes.

Currently it's a toasty 21 degrees, I'm hanging out with Nick, my brother, in our lil' sisters room - watching a strange episode of the x-files about some kind of "human torch" nanny-guy. Which reminds me, earlier today, I watched 'House of D' with my Dad - it was a film written and directed by David Duchovny, unfortunately the studios refused to put it in a nationwide release. But the good news is that 'Too fast, too furious' was there to fill the gap... that was extreme sarcasm incase anyone missed it.

My time here in Michigan has, as always, flown by. Already it's the 21st and Amanda and I fly out xmas night. I have a ton of pictures I'd like to post, pictures of our flight, of the snow, of Dlyan and Mandy... but my cell phone hasn't worked a minutes since I've been in town.

I have yet to go car-sledding. Which is sad. Hopefully, before I leave, I'll find a way to go... I look forward to it all year round - it's the only thing all this snow and ice is good for. Okay, it's 2 in the morning - past my bedtime.
