I'm headed to Colorado tomorrow to do some much needed skiing.  Until recently, I was planning on meeting my traveling companions in Denver tomorrow morning. Fortunately, this was changed and I'm planning on catching a flight early tomorrow morning.
Why so fortunate?  After all, I really don't mind driving that distance, even by myself.  Just in case, I even bought Better World coverage.  What could go wrong?  Well, on the way to my mom's with the cats this afternoon, the car lost first gear.  Good thing it happened today and not on the way to Colorado.  So long to the venerable Sable.

I may not have driven there, but I'm riding back in Isaac's brother's car on Friday.  A blizzard destroyed my plans of leaving on Thursday and the airline can't rebook me until after Christmas.  Oy!
