Minnesotan Ice: November 22, 2003

In which I brave a snowstorm to go to a concert.

Categorized

Looks like my beloved Twin Cities are about to experience the first big snowstorm of the year. The snow started falling tonight, just an hour before my husband and I left to go to a concert at Orchestra Hall, which is conveniently located all the damn way across town. This led to our first fun drive in the snow...

Romy: Wow, it’s really coming down out there. Maybe we should turn back.
Tony: Nah, we’re fine. We can make it.
[bunny dashes across road, practically under the front tires]
Tony & Romy: SHIT!
Romy: That was a sign from God. We should go home.
Tony: I thought you were looking forward to this concert.
Romy: Death was not on my to-do list today. Ooh, that’s cute! Wouldn’t that be good on a fridge magnet?
[car starts to slide towards a ditch]
Tony & Romy: AAAAAGH!
Tony: -AAAAAGHokay, we’re good, we’re good. Just hit a slick patch there.
Romy: Slick patch?! Slick patch?!? The whole fucking state’s a slick patch right now! I don’t wanna die! I don’t wanna diiiiiie!
Tony: SHUT UP!
[car stops at stopsign—oh wait, it doesn’t stop. sliiiiiiide...]:
Tony: HOLYmotherofGOD! [spinning the steering wheel like a retiree at the roulette wheel]
Romy: Amaaa-ziiing graaaaace…
Tony: I think we should turn back.
Romy: What? I have to go to this concert! It’s for school!
Tony: o_0

So we didn’t go to the concert. And now we’re at home, watching Law and Order and listening to Geri Halliwell. But it’s not “raining men,” it’s snowing…
