Allison, Uncle Mark here speaking to you from beautiful tropical south Texas. Yea right huh. Been nice today, 74 degrees, thought about going fishing this a.m. and darn the luck it was overcast and rainy. Been watching the weather and I did see Denver is getting "Hammered". I do not miss all that crap at all. My suggestion for Christmas in Denver would be stay home and enjoy. Don't feel like you are in a store window looking in. Think about this. You are about 675 miles from your closest family. I am 245 miles from Bruce and the Gowens and Meredith and Mike and 500 from my parents. It's just miles though. We all are outside the store window looking in. We look in the window at the internet and telephones for communication. I know too "mushy" for me.

I do agree with you. You need to c'mon back to Texas when you can. No matter how long it takes. Think about the famous words of our own Davy Crockett, "YOU CAN ALL GO TO HELL, I'M GOING BACK TO TEXAS" I've been fortunate to travel to other states and such. I agree with my man Crockett.

Keep them boys in hot rod mode. It's a fun mode. Expensive and risky sometimes but It's A Rush.

Mark
