You may have read about us in the news today.  The midwest got socked with the worst blizzard in 15 years.  I think we got about 20 inches here in Shaker Heights, Ohio.  It started snowing Friday and didn’t stop until Sunday morning.  Being the Clevelanders that we are, we don’t cancel things when it snows so my daughter’s friend’s 6th birthday was still scheduled to go Saturday afternoon in the thick of the storm.  When it was time to head out, I backed out of the garage in my Honda Odyssey, pulled forward about three feet to drive out of the driveway and got completely stuck in a huge snow drift - in my own driveway!  A half an hour later, we managed to dig ourselves out (that was stressful!), but I kept thinking to myself, if only my minivan was my Bob Revolution (that we use every week in the snow to walk my youngest daughter to her music class down the street), none of this would have ever happened!
