  1. I've already called Barbara Schaller at Margaret Suran's, relaying my regrets that I will not be
    attending today's brunch in New York City.

    I'm soooo disappointed!!!

    Had looked forward to this for weeks and I can't believe I'm not going! :-)

    My street was just finally plowed, we have about 4 inches of snow here now, with blizzard conditions
    on the way. My friend the local weather man just called me...the (cable news) station sent a 4 wheel
    drive truck to pick him up at 3am this morning, it took them over an hour. The station is 10 miles
    away. And he told me, on the phone, the same thing he said on the air "DON'T LEAVE THE HOUSE TODAY!
    There's MORE SNOW on the way!"

    So I am heeding his warnings.

    Am going to huddle back under the covers for a little while, then get some stuff done around the
    house today.

    I'll be calling Margaret's again this afternoon. Maybe they could email me one of Marcel's bloody
    marys! (wishing I had some vodka and tomato juice in the house. Got plenty of wine, but no bloody
    mary fixings.)

    mulled wine Red or white wine that is heated with various citrus fruits and spices such as cinnamon,
    cloves, allspice or nutmeg. Mulled wine is generally sweetened with sugar and often fortified with a
    spirit, usually brandy. Some recipes call for stirring the hot wine mixture into beaten eggs, which
    adds flavor and body to the beverage.

    I am sorry you couldn't make it as well. My wife and I had only to get on the Lex for a few stops
    and walk 3 blocks (with boots). We met a bunch of great people, some of whom went to amazing lengths
    to get there.

    I think everyone had a great time. We certainly did.

    With all the vituperation on usenet, it is amazing how civilized people can be when they actually
    get together. I think even Sheldon would have been nice, and enjoyed himself, if he had come.

    Oh, I wasn't terribly concerned about getting to Margaret's from Grand Central Terminal. 4 stops on
    the #6 and you're 3 (long) blocks away! My hesitance was in getting from my house to the train
    station. My street hadn't been plowed at 9am yesterday morning. There was 6 inches of snow on my
    car, driveway and the surrounding roads. It would have been very treacherous and getting home would
    have been worse.

    As much as I adore Margaret and Barb and am VERY disappointed at not seeing them, or meeting you,
    Terry, Gloria and your loved ones, I just didn't think it was prudent for me to risk safety. (Fred,
    I missed you, too!)

    Had I already been in Manhattan, or in a one-fare zone in one of the boroughs, I'd have been there
    with bells on!
