Well - it is the end of the line for my former brother-in-law. After his divorce from my sister he has packed up his meager belongings, put them into a u-haul, put his head down and drove away to Ohio. Don't feel bad for him, he deseves it. Anyway, he is planning on driving with his car in tow all the way there. He has no experience driving in the snow. He doesn't even know how to put chains on. He has never driven on ice before. After all that has happened, I do wish him luck. He will need it. I just can't believe someone could just leave their kids behind to weasel out of child support payments. That's inexcusable.

Francis left this morning to go to KLAX to go back to Lousiana. I saw her drive away, I was turning right, and she was turning left. For a minute our eyes met, but I don't think she recoginized me. Anyway she had been staying at my mother-in-law's house with her mom, while they settled up some personal affair due to her father dying. Apparently Francis's grandpa had some major issues and left nothing for her or her mom. Sad. I knew Francis years ago and she was pretty, smart, and had the look of a promising life ahead. When I saw her today, she looked tired, lonely, and depressed. Apparently her mom is a bit of a pill popper - I hope she doesn't end up the same. I wish her good luck too. She will need it as well.
