Returned safely from Mississippi last night, with an '02 Honda Accord on a trailer behind our Yukon: the new kids' car. Not Colin's car, specifically, as it will be Quentin's as well, when he gets his permit this spring. We bought it from my sister in Baton Rouge, so it was quite an adventure getting it here.
