Laborious Day

We made it to my Mother's house in Daphne, Alabama after only twice as long as a typical drive would take. My current cinematic reference point is Will Smith from Independence Day saying "I was supposed to be having a barbecue" whilst beating up the nasty tentacled alien who interferred with his 4th of July holiday. I'm in Daphne watching CNN, Weather Channel, whatever local Mobile TV news sounds worth listening to, and thinking to myself "I was supposed to have a day off to goof around and do nothing!!!".
