Sorry, we have been on the road. Wife wanted to spend the New Years somewhere "cold". We left yesterday afternoon following an abbreviated work day to head north. We are in Asheville NC. Looks like we missed it by one week. Last weekend in the Keys was colder than this weekend will be here. Of course last weekend was VERY cold in Asheville. Just fine by me as I don't care for freezing cold and especially don't feel like driving on sloppy roads. Still, the 790 mile journey was not that much fun. Traffic, traffic, traffic. Fortunately most of it headed south. Something to take into consideration when heading home.
And about the engagement, so sorry for your loss....
