The Unforgettable Fire

Went down to see the family on Wednesday (26th). Had to run an errand out towards Hurstbourne, so decided to take the I-64 route home, instead of US150/127. Good reminder of why I don't take I-64 more often. The Interstate portion isn't bad, really; it's less than 40 miles, but the stretch of KY151 and US127 down to Danville is just a chore.
Anyway, it was a good visit. Christmas dinner leftovers, good talks and some work around the house. Mom got me a set of six Star Wars coffee mugs, which are still boxed up, but will likely see a lot of hot chocolate on nights to come. Drove back Thursday afternoon, racing a thunderstorm - the storm won. Gorgeous and menacing squall line passed overhead when I was rolling up on the I-265 interchange, and rain started coming down in sheets. High winds along most of the route, and the Mariner got bounced around a little bit, even.
Flew in a X-Wing tournament yesterday. Mid-pack placing, going 2-2 on the day and winning a casual game after competition wrapped up. Playing five matches and driving back from Frankfort wore me out, and I was in bed at 10PM. I'm not back up to speed this morning, and had to back out of a game this afternoon.
