I could do without it, though…
Right now I’m hanging out at the very ritzy El Monte Sagrado hotel — there’s a huge Diego Rivera painting hanging on the wall near me — waiting for a chamber music concert to get underway in another hour. (At least they have a good wireless network!) My wife will be playing for most of the concert, and she’s inside the hall now practicing on the mighty Bösendorfer grand, a giant black piano the size of an aircraft carrier.
Meanwhile, it’s snowing like the dickens outside, as it has been all day. Getting home afterwards will be interesting, to say the least. And for you car nuts, I can tell you that our Pontiac Vibe is actually pretty decent in the snow. It has front-wheel drive and nice wide tires, and so far the little car has done just fine in the slippery stuff. Oh, it slides, all right, but so do 4WDs.
Spring can’t come soon enough, however.

Well, I totally believe you. My room at that Best Western was “okay,” just charmlessly...

Hope both of you and the car made it home in good time and that the concert was fantastic! Even in New England where we’ve been experiencing total darkness at 4:30 p.m., the days are lengthening, and the sun sets over the slough a minute or two later every day. After a week, one really sees the daylight’s progress.
Happy belated solstice.
The concert was great, thank you! And it’s STILL snowing here. That means it’s been snowing for about 20 hours…
Yes, happy solstice, thanks again.
I have had enough snow.
