A Christmas gift - news of The Mac
The Mac is coming!! The Mac is coming!! He’s coming up for Christmas from Smallvcitysville, USA in the Midwest somewhere. It’s about a two-day drive. He was supposed to have left yesterday morning, which puts him in the vicinity, oh, say, right around NOW!! Yay!!
Actually, I expect he’ll be around this evening sometime. Hopefully the roads have been kind to him. They were not at all kind last year – his Jeep Cherokee broke down on the way here, and his poor, poor dog Snowy had to endure all sorts of endless waiting around while the shop fixed it in Minot, North Dakota. Minot is an alright place to stop for the night, especially since it has easy-access motels right off the road, and one particularly cheap-cheap-cheap one that The Mac likes to boast about staying in since it’s so cheap.
However, last year, when The Mac visited us, he ended up kinda stranded in Minot having the shop fix his vehicle. Snowy, being a dog, isn’t really allowed in most of the places you’d go into while you’re waiting (like, shops and stuff), so The Mac walked her around the place. Last year, it was cold. Very cold. Poor Snowy.
Then, last year, on his way back to his home, the Jeep broke down a second time. It was as if the universe was taunting him.
This year, hopefully he has not broken down anywhere, as we have not heard from him to say that he has. So hopefully, he’ll be here very soon, and we can hang out. Hanging out with The Mac is good because he’s pretty funny. He’s also pretty damn smart (probably too smart for his own good), so he knows lots of good stuff. The NoodleDog will get to play with Snowy, who he loves, and Snowy will get to meet Cooter, and hopefully she doesn’t hate him and want to kill him. Because sometimes she decides she doesn't like a dog and wants to kill it. Hopefully this is not the case.
Also, this year, The Mac will get to meet Rob, who wasn’t around last year at Christmas time. Personally, I really really hope they get along. I don’t foresee any problems, since Rob is very cool and The Mac is very cool, so it should all be alright.
Mac, here’s hoping you’ve traveled safely like I advised, and that you’re here sooner rather than later.
