Sean Bossinger’s Doings

I drove to Northwestern Indiana last Wednesday/Thursday and came back Sunday/Monday. The purpose for the trip was to take my grandmother home for the last time. She was originally from Ft. Wayne, and spent a good portion of her life in East Chicago, Indiana, before retiring to Miami to be near some of her family that had relocated here before her (my parents and some others). The graveside service was short and quaint, with many of the family represented. It was cold, to be sure (15 at the time of the ceremony, with a 20mph wind, but sunny), but it was still a nice ceremony.

The trip up and back were, thankfully, uneventful, with the most treacherous part being the drive down the mountain north of Chattanooga on I-75, from a town named Monteagle. A three-lane road that has a 6 or 8% grade, at 55MPH, which should be travelled much slower in the fog – and man was it foggy. Wheeeeeeee!!!

While we were there, we got to see many of my family whom I have not seen (in person) in more than a decade. I miss them… all the more so because I actually miss the cold weather too. Somehow it puts one in the mood for the Yuletide season.

Much to my wife’s chagrin, I am seriously considering moving. I’m willing to entertain thoughts from my readers either way – yay or ney – on this topic. But tell me why I should or shouldn’t – don’t just say “yes, you should,” or “no, you shouldn’t.”
