Holidalies obligitory update
Okay, as I begin this, it's 11:03, so I have just under an hour to get this whipped out.  And since I'm such a writing GOD and all, here goes.

Last night, my father was adjusting the Christmas lights on his house and fell off the ladder.  I heard him fall, and ran out.  I begged him to go to the ER, and my Mom begged, but  he's somewhat stubborn, so he wouldn't go.

Until 2:30 am, when he couldn't move at all without severe, screaming pain.  We called the paramedics and had them come get him, and followed to the hospital.  Turns out, he's suffered some trauma, but he'll be okay.  He was admitted to the hospital and they are working to control the pain.  We're hoping he'll be out tomorrow sometime.

Today wasn't all stress-y... my sister and her family hit town about 5:00 this afternoon.  We went to the hospital to see Dad (who was MUCH better than earlier in the day) and then went to the Riverwalk and enjoyed a boat ride (the Riverwalk is beautiful during holiday nights; there are tons of lights) followed by a wonderful Italian meal at my favorite restaurant.  A very nice night, and I got to enjoy time with my nephews.
