Got up early-ish, packed, threw my stuff in the car and drove north.  Stopped in BN to eat Noodles for lunch.  It’s funny, the food at the Noodles there always seems to be more tasty than the STL noodles.  Hit dense fog about 70 miles from my mom’s, dense like can’t see more than 20 feet in front of you dense.  I slowed down to 50mph which may well have still been too fast, but cars were still passing me going 70mph.  Perhaps this is the advantage of having fog lights on one’s automobile?  That they’re actually useful in fog?  Anyway, fog turned to rain about 20 miles out, I was glad to finally arrive.  JA came over and we had rouladen for dinner, delicious, and then went to an Ice Hogs game.  It was a pretty good game, nothing much exciting happened.  Came home, ate cheese and crackers and my leftover noodles and hung out with my mom.  Tried to call Charlie and there was no answer so I went to bed.  He called back latelatelate and we had a bleary yet cheery chat until we were both falling asleep on the phone.
