We got home before 2:00 AM and slept in until 7:30 or so. I'm now in Eagle, ID getting our snow tires swapped out on the VW; Valerie will be here soon with the Corolla for the same purpose.
It's almost 11:30 here, and 35 degrees! A big difference from being in Tampa yesterday at this same time amd enjoying near 80 degree weather. It was trying to snow in Denver last night as we were flying out; they had to run the plane through the de-icer before we could leave.
We'll now shut down this blog until the next time we leave town again... good health to you all!

Tuesday at TPA...
It’s 3:05 PM, Tuesday afternoon. We’re at the Tampa International Airport; Valerie is walking around getting what exercise she can, and I’m sitting here at a table with the computer, “making the magic happen”. Our flight leaves in an hour and fifteen minutes, and this trip officially comes to a close.
We spent the morning computer shopping with my father-in-law. His computer is reaching the end of its life and he needs something that will actually work when you want it to… and I wish that I had known he was going to be needing to upgrade, because I would have loved to have spent a day transferring files and settings to the new toy, and then teaching him how to use it. Mundane, perhaps, but I kinda like mundane for some applications. As it is, he’ll have to have the store where he’s buying it do the “idiot work”, and unlike me – they charge for the service. Give me an iced tea every now and then and I’m happy as a clam!
After that we stopped at the International Mall where Valerie did a little browsing, and picked up a few things at a couple of stores that they don’t have in Boise. I looked in the Apple Store, something they finally did get in Boise.
So now we sit in the airport, waiting for the flight which is supposedly on-time. We’ll see how well things go once we get to Denver and have to wait a couple of hours for our connecting flight!
