Well, it was a disastrous commute for lots of people last night.  There are reports of drivers being stuck on the beltway and other roads for 5 or 6 hours.  The cause--about one inch of snow which became ice making for hazardous conditions.

I hope I can get a bus to the Metro (rail).  If not, a cab. Only thing is I'm afraid the cab driver will plow into someone's parked car in my parking lot--it looks very slippery.

Well, what must I do today?  Where must I go?  Let's see.

Costco, for my usual two 44-lb boxes of cat litter.

Shop Rite, for just a little bit of panic shopping for the weekend.  I only need a few items, really.  I'm sure that even now, a weekday morning two days before the storm, that the store will be totally crazy.  Just have to relax and go with the flow.

Oh hell.  I could think of a few other things to do, but there's nothing else I MUST do.  It'll all wait.  I've got plenty to do here at home.

So, through the miracles of modern technology, BK let me have a peek at the entire video of Welcome to My World.  It's great throughout, which should hardly be a surprise to anyone.  For me, on this viewing, there's an especially superb middle section running from the song "Note to Boys" (with signing) through the frog dissection and math scenes -- including the cell phone interruption that simply couldn't have been better.  (This video also includes the equally priceless audience response at "is the thought of that making you uncomfortable?")  Some fine guidance was evident on that stage.  Bravo to all!

I've proofed the first fifty-one pages.  The fascinating part was reading the introduction by the "writer" of the book about Mr. Bronstein.  As you know I wrote it and the first page of what follows back in October, just a rough of it.  I smoothed it out when I began three weeks ago, but in reading it I realized I completely didn't have the voice of the author character down - that didn't happen until the following chapter.  So, I made quite a few changes in the introduction, ran them by Muse Margaret and it's so much better now.

I do.  I normally don't really do any rewriting when proofing, but the intro had such blatantly wrong stuff in it that I had to.  With everything after that, it's just minor stuff because I've already gone over and over it until I'm happy, prior to moving on to new pages.

I think I may have spent too many years in newspapers. There's not been enough time in the past for anything but a superficial proofing.

After work I went to a birthday party for a close friend.  There was a great turn out of friends. We hadn't really gotten together since mid December, so we hadn't talked politics.  People have pretty much decided and while there was a variety of favorites, there were definite winners in each party. Interestingly enough there were several dems who are switching to Rep for the caucuses.  This is fun

Were they switching parties to vote for someone or against someone?

There were only a few. I can't speak for all, but the one I talked to a lot was definitely switching to vote for not against.

There definitely are people who will switch to vote against someone from both parties. It happens every year, especially if their first choice doesn't have a chance
