On Saturday, I drove home to go to the visitation for my sister's father-in-law, who passed away Thursday. It was a surprising lively place at the funeral home. With his five sons, their spouses, and friends of the family, it was a packed place. It was almost like a party, seeing folks you never see regularly, including some of my sister's high school classmates who haven't seen me since graduation. One of them even called me "handsome," which was strange considering she rarely paid me any attention back then. On the other hand, her husband is a stunning blue-collar cubby. It was good to see them both!

Kentucky Blue LightsI drove Mom back to my brother's, taking a few moments here and there to admire some Christmas lights along the way. Mom loves doing this. This house was my favorite. Afterward, I went back to my sister's house alone and crashed. Driving the three hours to my hometown tends to wear me out. I nearly froze to death in my sister's house because it was cold. I wrote it off as the sudden dip in outside temperature, only to find out the next morning that she had turned the A/C on to combat a hot flash earlier and forgot to turn it back to heat. It's hell getting old, as I keep telling her :)

After lunch with my mom and brother, I drove back today, stopping for a break in Lexington, KY to refill the gas tank and go to the restroom. At this gas station, there was a line forming at the men's room. As I stood in line, there was a smell emitting from the restroom that grew increasingly rank. The guy next to me and I were talking about it, wondering if the guy in there was okay. The guy behind me finally gave up and went to the ladies room instead.

While he was in there, an elderly man poked his head out holding his soiled shirt and said a bit angrily, "Do you want to come in here!!? I have amoebic dysentery! Do you want to come in??" I just shook my head no as he closed the door back. The smell from the room was STAGGERING! I went to the empty ladies room (I'm not ashamed of it) and left. I'm not sure what was going on in the mens, but I have a feeling an ambulance should have been called. Just some lovely Kentucky goings-on...

I went for a run, then decided to stay in for the night. The DVD player has started working again. I watched Tucker & Dale vs Evil tonight. Such a fun movie, and Tyler Labine is adorable.
