       Waiting for food after waiting for a table for an hour at the Cracker 
       Barrel in Rialto.  For me it's worth it.  For my fam, not so much.  
       There aren't many Cracker Barrels around here so I enjoy when I can.  
       I got the "old-timer's" breafast.  Eggs, sausage, fried apples, 
       biscuits 'n gravy, grits with a side of apple butter, and a mug 'o 
       coffee to wash it all down.  Good thing I did some walking while 
       waiting for the table.
       
       We're heading out to Palm Springs for a few days for a post-holiday 
       getaway with no inlaws, now outlaws, nobody else.  Just us!  It's 
       been awhile since we've done one of these road trips with just the 
       immediate family.  This is the first road trip where my son is 
       driving the entire time!  So far, he's doing well.  Maybe I will even 
       show him how to operate the cruise control!
       
       Time to eat!
