Well. It’s safe to say that nothing has gone as planned so far this week. Lance and I went to Philly for an event over the weekend and Art stayed home to hold down the fort. The plan was that we’d go up on Thursday and come back home on Monday morning. Hurricane Sandy had other plans for us! Art stocked up and got the house battened down while Lance and I were working.
Lance and I ended up leaving late Sunday night and driving to my parents’ house, which is only about 50 minutes away from the tournament site. The conditions were too horrible to drive all the way home to Southern Maryland, but we were worried that if we waited until Monday to go somewhere that we wouldn’t make it anywhere at all and we’d be stranded in the hotel.
Everything worked out in the end and my family was reunited on Tuesday evening after a very dull, gray drive. Now that I’m back home, things are discombobulated and hectic enough that I’m not prioritizing proper meal planning and just resorting to easy things in various jars and pouches. The exception is Sunday when Brian will be joining us for dinner of delicious smoked brisket. Between now and then I figure I’ll pick out a few sides, but I’m not going to devote time and brain power to it right now!
I hope that you are all safe and sound wherever you may be!
