My sister and I have this long running inside joke that makes us laugh like hyenas every time there is ice on the ground.  When we were younger and it would snow/sleet, we could ALWAYS expect a call from our mother warning us about Black Ice.  And when she felt like we were not taking her warning seriously enough, she would break out into statistics and end it by letting us know “It is the Silent Killer you know!!!” - it was at that point that we would break out laughing, and say “Okay Okay MOM!” then hang up and immediately race to see who could call who first and in a hushed serial killer type voice say “The Silent Killer is going to get you!!!!!!”  We would both break out laughing and say - “DAMN, I was going to try and get you first - did Mom call you too?”

We still do this.  So imagine my delight when I looked out this morning and saw the roads all iced over.  I could not wait to get out and take a photo to text to my sister with the caption “Silent Killer is on the prowl in VA this morning!!!”  Her response: “LOL - I was just telling someone yesterday about the warnings I get when The Silent Killer is out ”

I miss my sister.

Watching Saturday Night Live - Best of Will Ferrell.  Life is good when it includes SNL and Will Ferrell.
