On Thursday, I was up in Sprout City for work, and there was so much ice on the ground, I was holding in to railings with all my weight just to keep from landing on my ass. I’ve been on ice skating rinks that were easier to walk on.

It’s 25 minutes to the airport in off-peak hours, has nice scenery, air and living quality. It isn’t cheap, but they earn a ton of money. They’ll never be asking us for a loan—maybe we will ask them for one! I never flinched when she wanted to go to school in the USA, and she said she’d pay me back some day. I said just make the best you can out of yourself, and I’ll consider us even.
