Well, I'm back at home. I had forgotten to ask people to take care of the house while I was gone, but fortunately the next door neighbours took our newspaper, and there isn't that much snow on the driveway.
Anyhoo, I've got lots of stuff to do. One of those things is sleep!

After our little get together for lunch, we all went our separate ways home. At least that's what I thought. I ended up being the last one to leave because I wanted to have some money out and ready for the tolls since I was driving alone and needed to be prepared. Anyway, I passed RS and AG on the way out, but didn't make much notice of it (I noticed their Ontario license plates).
About half an hour later, I was slowly passing this car when I looked into my rear view mirror and saw a red SUV right at my bumper! I quickly got out of the way and let them pass. Then I noticed that it was the same two cars I passed! I decided to pull in behind them and figured that if they were going fast, that the cops couldn't catch us all (besides, they have more - and better - eyes and can spot the state troopers much quicker than I). Just then, I got a call on my phone. I thought that it might be the hill because I recognized the voice, but it was RS who proclaimed,
"Welcome to the convoy!"
At which point he asked me if I was planning on sticking with them, so I told him that I figured that I might as well. So I tagged along. Eventually, our little convoy passed PG and his car of kids, and he tagged along behind us. But we lost their car when they went for gas, and they didn't have a way for us to contact them.
Eventually, we bumped into CL during one of our stops, and he hooked up with our convoy. Our four cars eventually made it back into the country. It was fun, although a little crazy to keep up with RS. You need to be a really crazy driver to keep pace. Getting delayed behind a truck meant that they were nowhere to be seen, but fortunately I was crazy enough and had a car that could keep up.
At least the trip back wasn't uneventful. Had I gone ahead alone, I probably would've been nodding off before I got back into New York!

Since we had lost the co-ed semi-final and our last men's game, we were shut out of the Sunday finals. That was okay, since that meant that I could wake up late, mail off those post cards, and (finally) get cleaned up. I stuck around to watch the co-ed final (even though I wasn't driving anyone back) and the people who stuck around (most of us at least) went out to lunch. Originally, CL was leading the way to the restaurant (he told me to go east on the highway), but I was a little worried when he went onto the westbound lanes. After a few minutes of driving (after losing the rest of the convoy) we stopped and he confessed that he had remembered the actual directions after getting on the highway. So we turned back to the arena where everybody else was waiting, and we went to the restaurant (the right way this time).
To food was okay, and apparently it was next to the hotel that they stayed at the previous years, so it was all good.
