Rant: I am at home with a nasty cold. On the bright side, I'm not at the office.

Rave: We just bought a car!! Now we can take weekend trips again w/o the hassle of renting. It's going to be super expensive...but I think we were in need of a change. I can't remember the last time I was upstate, hiking in the woods, or canoeing on the Delaware...
