The title says it all.
I woke up in Macon, had a lovely breakfast, said goodbye to Roberta and her family, and began driving SS1 and her mother back to Florida. We were moving along quite nicely, leaving the rain behind us, until we were about eighty miles from the Florida line.
Some of it was accidents, some was construction, and some will remain a mystery, but the net result was that a five-hour journey turned out to be quite a bit longer than that.
So, instead of getting home and having some recoup time before my next round of holiday fun, I had barely 45 minutes before heading out to dinner with friends, followed by watching the Leesburg Dance Centre’s final performances of the season, and a brief stop for the last few numbers of the Melon Patch Theater’s Christmas Concert (not to worry, I’ll catch the whole thing tomorrow afternoon).
By the time I got home, I was exhausted and brainless.
There will be no scintillating prose tonight, no musings, no nothing….
Except…
Sometimes something arrives in your inbox that’s just so WRONG that it must be shared.
The link below does NOT connect to my annual holiday message….mostly because I simply could never, in a thousand years, come up with it…
Welcome home, Lynn. I’m glad you dodged that snowstorm that’s hammering Washington. As a weather prophet my aim is a bit off, but my timing isn’t.
But you’re home and safe! Bravo!
That is beyond bad. My violin playing isn’t that bad.

There are two types of beyond bad…
There’s schadenfreude — the pleasure derived when someone in your negative zone experiences “beyond bad” in an up-close-and-personal way.
And there’s hathos — when you personally encounter something so compellingly “beyond bad” that you simply cannot resist watching to the bitter end and then, maybe, hitting the repeat button.
For me, this was hathos
WHAT IS THAT?
Now I have to clean my monitor off and people in other cubicles are looking at me.
Just…wow…
(And ditto on having to watch it twice)
Hello Lynn,
Wishing you strenght to endure and energy to get back into a productive feeling, and lots of cheers for all the hard work you’ve put in to make Closed Circle happen.
I’m adding you to my lunchbreak webvisits-loop: CJ, Jane, you and Closed Circle. Perhaps you could add a link to Closed Circle in the Friendly Places on the left sidebar? I can’t see how else to get there from here.
Best wishes,
Hanneke
