We had a winter storm today with ice and freezing rain mixed with snow. It proved just enough to make a mess and kill the power all afternoon. No electricity, no cable TV, and no WiFi. I put Don to bed early to conserve heat in his bed. Being cold is intolerable for him. Electricity finally came back on about 7 p.m. Don is still awake, which is unusual for him at this hour of the evening. He emerges from the bedroom.
Don: You missed the photo of a lifetime.
Kristy: Do tell.
Don: I looked up and saw I was on a train going north. Just me and the boys.
Kristy: North to where?
Don: Snoqualmie.
Kristy: What was in Snoqualmie?
Don: The train stopped, and we went for a walk. We got back and discovered I lost my shoes. We looked everywhere.
Kristy: You went on part of this walk with no shoes? In the snow?
Don: Yeah. They kept lowering the train and then raised it several times. We found no shoes.
Kristy: Then what?
Don: The hotel there was the best part of the whole trip.
Kristy: Is the coffee warming you up? Does it taste good?
Don: I will let you know tomorrow.
Note to Self: Sounds like an episode from The Sopranos or Yellowstone. Watch out, boys, for that long black train.
