A Pre-Thanksgiving Message from Mom
Left less than 20 minutes ago on our answering machine.
Mom: Hey, Ces, it's mom. Just wanted to let you know that your dad and I are leaving for Cello's house tomorrow around 11 A.M. We wanted to leave earlier because of what a disaster the traffic is suppose to be but your father still has his Wednesday class to teach. I heard that the traffic in Massachusetts is going to be absolutely horrible--really, really bad--tomorrow. They're expecting all sorts of crashes and fatalities thanks to the holidays. Very bad time to drive. So you and Carol take your time coming up. When you get there you get there. Well, I hope to speak to you soon and if not then we will see you tomorrow. God willing.

God, now *I'm* afraid to drive home for Thanksgiving.
are these crashes and fatalities something they've added just this year? or have they expected them in the past?
I like the idea that crashes and fatatlities are added to enhance the holiday spirit. "New York City has that tree. What can we do that will really wow the tourists? Y'know, get them involved in the activities."
Good Lord man! You cant let your parents drive in holiday traffic. Cant you fly them up there in the Sally Forth Co. private jet or something?
Hehe, it sounds like my Mom
Like that`s different than any other day in Boston.
All that's missing is "remember to wear clean underwear in case you're in a horrible, multi-vehicle accident, darling!"
Yeah, in Boston, Thanksgiving is for crashes and fatalities what St. Patrick's Day is for puking and public urination: strictly for the amateurs.
That's the greatest "God Willing" since. Um. Since the last one that I liked a lot.
yep, sounds like my Mom too.
Hey, we made it. God was willing after all.
