How To Wake Up Your Wife at 4:51 AM With No Snooze

Jen wakes up at 4:51 in the morning to start getting ready to leave for work. I wake up too, but then go back to sleep for another 40-50 minutes. Normally she snoozes for 5 minutes, playing the high stakes game of changing her alarm setpoint instead of hitting the snooze. This morning… Alarm Me: [...]

Uhh So…

We’re down 17 guests and falling as fast as the snow. I’m considering trying to make a sortie to pick up the bride-to-be, MoH and a couple of bridal partyers and bring them to the hotel. The NWS suggests I bring a snow survival kit. Baltimore and DC both have the opportunity to break the [...]
