Many Misadventures In Odd Old Ossining

Well, I had quite an adventure on Thursday and Friday.

My family and I went to a biggish town called Ossining (you've probably never heard of the town but Raven Simone lived there when she was young) to see my brother on Thursday night. And no, it's not the same brother who I'm planning to steal the hooded sweatshirt from (see post below).

Anyway, Ossining is a looooooooooooong drive from my house, so I was trapped in a minivan for hours. Not very fun. It was under 10 degrees for most of the trip, and it felt like my toes were going to freeze and fall off. But oh well. At least I would be able to warm up inside my brother's house when we got there, Right?

Wrong.

When we arrived in Ossining, my brother (I call him Flalex, don't ask why I call him that, cuz not even I know) rushed out of the house in a knit cap thingy and a couple of layers of clothes. He ran up to the minivan and gave us some bad news.

The heater had stopped working. It was 35 degrees inside. So, my toes never did warm up.

Anyway, it was sort of miserable but sort of fun, too. The fun part was that I could see my breath inside. And when I peed, steam rose from the toilet ( it smelled bad but looked cool). And when I washed my hands, steam rose from my fingers, which also looked very cool but didn't smell bad.

The miserable part was wearing at least 2 layers of clothes and a winter coat indoors. Oh, and the fact that my toes were frozen solid.

Our plans were to stay in Ossining for two nights, but we left earlier than we had originally planned. Oh well. It was quite an adventure. Or rather a misadventure.
