Travels And A Few Stories

Today I drove from Maryland to my brother's house in Virginia, so that tomorrow five out of the six of us siblings, some with respective spouses and children, can enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner.  Naturally, part of an interstate highway turned into a parking lot due to an accident, but I was able to find my way to a roughly parallel U.S. highway.  I had to deal with the normal inconveniences of such roads, such as stoplights, but was still able to bypass the accident and continue southward.  After I arrived, my brother and I went out shopping for some foods for tomorrow, and various other things.

Now that I have a bit of free time, I can pass along a few things going on:
