it was a dark and stormy night...

So, Tuesday I get a call saying my name had been drawn in a contest and that I've won a chance to win a car.

ok......

So, Holly and I figure why not go Wednesday night after she gets off work and see what this is about.

Turns out, it was a chance to buy into a vacation club, and while the offer was tempting, we passed. We did win a free vacation, well, free accommodations at least. Airfare, taxes and whatnot would be on us.

The presentation had started at 8pm and we didn't get out until 10pm to a pouring rainstorm in Gurnee. I fetch the car and we start making our way back to Milwaukee.

Lots of lightning on the drive home, and a couple of semi truck blown over on the southbound lanes. Holly was fighting a bad headache, so she laid down and closed her eyes while I got us home.

I'll take the couch tonight so she can sleep undisturbed; I'll be in the living room with the dog, watching the light show.
