They may not have come out real good according to you, but they were good enough that I was reminded of the concert he did here on 10/5/08. That was absolute magic.

After reading what you all have to say about the cold & how nasty it can get where you are, it makes me glad that I am where I am. It can get colder than a brass tailed monkey sometimes here, but thank goodness I don't live near a body of water when it gets cold. Man, that HAS to be brutal!!!

Hunkering down for the big chill tomorrow, wind chill that is, of somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 below. We've done lower but not yet this season. We're expecting a few white-outs too. Definitely a good day to stay indoors with hot soup and tea.

Rich was all over the place yesterday getting home from Charleston. His first plane was late, the connecting flight was cancelled for "aircraft maintenance", a substitute flight by way of Boston got missed, and he finally got shuttled/cabbed to another airport entirely to take a flight on yet another airline to Rochester instead of Syracuse - and then our son's gas tank nearly dropped off the bottom of his (15 year old) car on the NYS Thruway. They jury-rigged the straps and managed to get home in one piece but it's "goodbye purple Intrepid!", hello something else.

It was 58 degrees Sunday when I was driving my son back home! So we spent the better part of the day in the car. And man....lots of traffic and I somehow managed to get around 2 major tie-ups on the highway.

The worst was on the Rte 15 highway heading South...closed down! As luck would have it though...we were 1/4 mile from an exit that I could easily access to get to a parallel highway (95). We passed by @2 miles of traffic waiting to get on the closed highway. When I got to the end of my ramp - I let some of these folks who were free to turn around there, know that the highway closed down.

So I can't complain that it took us maybe 2 hours longer for the 1 1/2 trip. Especially reading here what your familiy has been through formlav! And I can't whine about the weather either! Today is sunny and mild (30's) -but tomorrow and the following few days looks like snow/rain/wind.
