My father is having surgery on Monday, and it's quite a tricky and intense one. It will last 5 hours and it will take weeks or months of rehabilitation. We figured we'd go have one last hurrah. In the AM I made corn muffins and snuck in a workout. It helps immeasurably to have worked out before going on a long trip, I was totally calm and relaxed. But maybe that has something to do with not having to pack for the kids or keep them entertained...

David and I had a terrifying ride to the Catskills region, where my father lives. Many times we couldn't see the highway we were on and when we arrived on the local roads, we witnessed lightning coming down from the sky, in a thick ropy sword unlike anything I've ever seen before. As we continued to travel towards our destination we came across the point where the lightning had hit--a transformer that was currently on fire in the middle of the road. We had considered stopping at a store a long the way but literally as we pulled into its parking lot we saw their lights go out-- we continued to drive. As it was the lighting meant we had to go to a different restaurant, but C'est la vie.
