Everything in threes

First off, Further confusion was a lot of fun, aside from a general shortage of sleep that accompanies these cons. (being in my late thirties, I'm approaching "old fart" territory now, and don't bounce back from a three-hour night like I used to) Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hi, drew something fun for me, and/or blessed me with your hard-earned money in this economic climate. I had a great time, and hope I didn't bug anyone too much.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take any time to decompress. Tuesday, I had to take my father to the hospital for treatment of a surgery-related infection on his foot. This was also the day the big snow and ice storm of the eastern half of the country hit my region (thankfully it waited until my flight home from FC was done) Driving conditions got steadily worse that day as salt trucks and snow plows fought a losing battle.
Today the storm is done, and I'm working to dig out, The storm lay down snow, then freezing rain and ice, then snow again, leaving a shovel-breaking sandwich covering everything. I suppose my Dad is lucky, as he gets to chill in the hospital as I'm trapped at home for the time being until I finish the extraction work to carve out a car and a path for it. Could be much worse though, as the heat and power and internet all work. Wish me luck folks, and wish my Dad a speedy recovery (but not too speedy, so I can actually drive out to get back to the hospital.)

Anyways. glad you had a great time at FC. Too bad I wasn't there. I would've love to go, but not much time off from work to do so. Oh well. Hope to see ya at AC. :)
Sorry to hear about your Dad's foot, I wish him a recovery speed equivilant to the time it takes too clear the driveway.
Also, we got hit kind of hard by that snow too, really lucky though didn't ice like last year, we only got six inches, howabout where you were?
I also know what you mean by "old fart" level. the weather is starting to affect me something nasty on top of everything else
at least you two made it where your going. I know what you mean by Shovel Breaking weather. they were calling for a nasty one this winter.
Has the storm knocked out power in your area?
And I know all about the shovel-breakers, get any black ice?
