I started out to South Bend with my wife’s friend Emily. I have known her for a very long time and my wife has known her for even longer. Both of us are Notre Dame Fans so when I was given tickets at work, I didn’t hesitate to take her with me. We got there a little early to walk the campus and to grab lunch before the game. After a quick bite to eat, we walked to the stadium and sat through a really long and boring game. Needless to say we were both disappointed when we left.
We started the drive home and decided to grab something to eat at a restaurant off of the Interstate. We each had a couple of drinks and just BS’ed through about an hour. We left the restaurant and were about to get back on the Interstate when we noticed a bunch of cars just sitting everywhere. We turned on a local radio station and there was a HUGE accident that would have us blocked in for hours. We decided it would be best to just grab a hotel and stick it out until morning. I made the phone call home to give the wife the bad news. She was pretty pissed at the situation but nothing that we could do.
