Humility of Humor

They are not the same thing; people sometimes think they are and they are not. I this week learned a valuable lesson in both, all I will say is there is no greater gift then the gift of forgiveness, even when you were completely wrong and acted like a complete horses behind.

The humor of my day comes from the fact that as posted I am headed for the snowy mountains of VA. Today here in Charleston where it has not snowed in a decade, they are expecting snow, 1-3 inches or 2-4 depending on who you watch and how close to the coast you are. I am leaving and it will snow, the thing I have wished for every winter since the last time it snowed which was my first year here in 2000. Even funnier is that since it doesn’t snow here people FREAK out. The schools are closed for a storm that is not supposed to hit until midnight, a good ten hours after school would have been dismissed. Also, since Charleston does not have spreaders or plows the roads will all be closed soon as well. Charleston is a city connected by bridges and lots of them, anyone who has lived in the cold knows bridges freeze before roads do and that makes them especially dangerous. I expect they will close the bridges sometime after rush hour here, in Charleston on a Friday before a holiday that is 1pm. The south at its finest really…..
