Snow Storm Blues

We are trapped in Cincinnati today. We have a load going to Akron but the weather stopped us in Cincy last night. We have been sitting in our truck for over twelve hours. Worst thing is our Sirius radio bit the dust. But Kirby found a station here playing old radio shows. We listened to William Powell in "One Way Passage." I love him with Myrna Loy on the old Thin Man movies. This story is about a woman dying of heart trouble who meets a man on his way to be executed for murder. They meet on a ship sailing from Shanghi to San Francisco. Of course they don't tell each other the truth but fall in love and plan to meet in Mexico on New Year's eve. Reminds you of Cary Grant in "An Affair to Remember." Cary Grant certainly had a happier ending but this is a great classic anyway.

Luckily we keep snacks with us so we dined on crackers, cheese spread, beans & franks, and celery with peanut butter. Thank goodness for the IPhone. We can entertain ourselves playing Whack a Mole. Or get online. I need to go now and make a phone call. Today is my son's birthday.
