54 Degrees
Perhaps that is really what makes the TV show Portlandia work. It really is nuts here. A week ago it was freezing and a foot of snow on the ground. Tonight being outside was close to being balmy. Really messes with one’s mind. At least the City is socked in, and consistently cold and miserable. …
Thank you!
Tonights show was such great fun. We had four shows cancelled due to snow last week, and so the plot had thickened as we all experienced the actual weather of the play, and the words sunk in. It was a true happening. It was pure delight to see that niece Stephanie and grand niece Madeline …
If I Ever
picked a time to be away from the City, it was this winter. Read that another foot of snow fell on Thursday. Kelly said that it looks like Russia: the snow lingers and gets dirtier and yellower. Never knew there were so many dogs, he said. You picked it as if you knew what you …
From Monday Morning to Tuesday Night!!

I actually like shoveling snow. Hate vacuuming, but snow shoveling is satisfying because you can see what you have accomplished. …
Fading Fast

Believer!
The weatherman apparently has god talking to him. He called it and it has snowed, and snowed, and snowed and snowed and now it is raining down on all that snow. Don’t know what happens next, am curious to see how the clean up progresses. We lost a weekend of shows: Thursday through Sunday. Now …
Batting 100
The weatherman wins again. It came down steadily and determinably and piled itself on top of the snow already in place. The result is another cancelled show. Means more shows next week to provide opportunity for the ticket holders to attend. But what really threw me is the lack of anything being done. Ann and …
