I didn't realize you could have been in this photo.  Thank goodness you were wise enough not to drive it.

Yes -   I saw the entrance  to the highway was backed up so I opted to take the side roads home although I was concerned at the time that they wouldn't be plowed - however all the side roads are in residential neighborhoods so I figured  that worst case scenario if I was stuck I could beg for shelter from a home owner - those stuck on the expressway were stranded with no shelter for miles

 I rarely go to the Saturday service unless I am scheduled to serve as an assisting minister - but it is a highly unusual occurrence  for a service to be cancelled

Or even walk.  In the winter I usually keep extra clothing in the trunk of my car.  This year I've been bad & even go to the gym wearing shorts.

DR Jane wow no wonder it is easier when you have the lane to yourself. I definitely prefer having the lanes set up by speed. It makes it so much easier to me. Why do you not breathe to the side when you do front crawl? Oes it hurt your shoulder? I have never hear of anyone swimming front crawl without breathing to the side. I breathe on every stroke on my right side.

There are people who wear mask with a snorkel so they don't have to come up for air.  Other people wear things on their hands and/or fins to increase their speed.  Some wear the whole works.  At first I swam as far as I could and came up gasping for air.  Eventually I figured out it to switch my stroke so as not to have to stop, which of course one shouldn't do. 

I can, finally, turn my head to breathe but the pain isn't worth it since it continues even after I'm done swimming.  Constantly changing my strokes, and not going too fast, seems to work the best for me.

I also am a right stroke breather or I might be able to breath as I swim.  I have never been good at doing the left side & figure it isn't worth it to try now.

Not I.

Today, my friend Margo and I saw a local production of Next To Normal (it was very good), and afterward we went to Panera where we ran into a couple of co-workers (they're married to each other).  As we chatted, they mentioned that they've been watching "House of Cards" and have really enjoyed it.  I've got it in my queue.

Good morning from Miami!  Thanks for the travel vibes yesterday.  I got here without a problem.  My friend from Buffalo had no trouble-he had a non-stop flight to Ft. Laudedale.

The bride and groom to be and 9 others were on the flight through LaGuardia. Thankfully, they made it out on time.  My nephew said they were on the last flight out!

One of their friends couldn't get out of Buffalo (flight cancelled) and is going to fly to Jamaica and meet the ship on Monday.  The wedding is on Tuesday.

We leave for the ship at 12;30 and it leaves the port at 4:30.

~~~Continued Travel Vibes All Around!!~~~

Much as I love Patricia Routledge, I cannot stand KEEPING UP APPEARANCES, which is on PBS at the moment. The character's too overbearing and too close for comfort to my social climbing Aunt Jean.

My mom loves this show. :D
