Well, I guess I will start writing again on a daily basis and enter the stuff in my blog. I stopped writing in my DayOne log when I lost about half of a year's worth of entries in a computer glitch. I did continue to write in my Papa Leroux Blog and post on both PATCH and the Guild website.
Yesterday, Julie and I flew to Laguardia Airport in New York on Delta flight 1948. I didn't think we were going to get out of Detroit as the weather forecast was dire. To our west and north there were bad ice storms. Bill's family lost power in East Lansing. Tom had trees down in his yard. (See the picture below.) Lots of people in Michigan were powerless.
We went straight to DTW in a MetroCar. The plane loaded on time, left on time, and arrived at LGA ahead of schedule. A car picked us up and we were at Jenny's by about 1500.
Scientists don't really seem to have and answer to questions about why we have this wild weather. They blame it on the jet stream or on global warming. I personally think the warming has something to do with it, but I view the changes on a lot larger piece of time. We know there have been several glacial and intra-glacial periods in the earth's history. We just haven't been around long enough to really understand it.
It is nice being with Jenny, Bob, and Sophie. Sophie and Bob were at one of Sophie's basketball games when we arrived. They came home announcing that Sophie's team won, 28-24. They are now 4-2 on the season. Bob seems to be really into the coaching and parent involvement in the team. Ah, CYO.
The Lions lost to the Giants and I think that eliminates them from the playoffs. The last time they won the championship was 1957. I was in the Army and stationed at Herzo base in Germany. Fifty-six years and waiting.
After dinner we watched It's a Wonderful Life. I say "we," but mean "they." I fell asleep as I had been up since about 0430 and had a bit too much vodka.
