A little worried about the snow

Coming from strong New England stock as I do, I usually don't worry about the snow. But I'm in Brunswick, Ga., tonight, five and a half hours from home and I have to get up the mountains in the snow to get there tomorrow. It's pretty much worth it, though. I've been with Danny and Jennifer and the kids and Shannon and her kids. Janet was supposed to come but she got held up with work until late last night, heard about the snow and decided to stay put in Raleigh.

I did get to spend Thursday evening and Friday morning with her, though, and James stopped by to talk about setting up the lifeomike.org Web site for video of our health care rallies.

We have one coming up in Raleigh in April and someone near here -- on St. Simons Island -- who wants to put on a rally.

But today was just for fun. We went to Willie's Weenie Wagon for lunch:



Then we went to St. Simons Island, where the kids played on the playground:



And then to Jeckyll Island, where the dogs played in the surf:



And the kids looked for shells:



Then we went to the pier, where Danny taught Shannon's son, Liam, to spit in the ocean:



It was pretty much a perfect day -- one I hope the kids will remember. I know I will.

We talked a lot about Mike and how he would have reacted to different things. We told Mike stories and laughed and just enjoyed being family together. I love days like this one.
