As many of you may have heard, the city of Seattle turned into a bowl of winter soup just before the holidays. Julie, Millie and I road-tripped down the night before our flight to Denver and stayed at our most gracious hosts' house, the Arnolds. How kind of them to loan us their sweet digs for what was supposed to be a single evening, particularly in their absence! Anyhow, the snow fell in heeps, on top of a substantial amount of black ice already on the road. That plus the city's alleged 20 snow plows, made for a mess at Sea-Tac airport for the next few days. After initially being told that we wouldn't be able to arrive Colorado until the 28th (we were due to depart on the 21st originally), we got lucky and caught a flight out on the 22nd. I will spare you the mission impossible story of how that happened, but big ups to 1) The Arnolds for letting us stay in their cozy casa for two nights 2) JD for rallying us to the airport in my car and 3) Kevin from the Visa Avion travel agency that miraculously found seats for us. Oh and by the way, if you have to be stranded someplace, there's no place like Fremont. I recommend walking to The Dish for snowed in brunch, and also snowboarding down Fremont Ave to watch Sunday football with the fellas at the Pac Inn.
