This is the "chart" my DH was presented with at Temple last night, which he and the band were expected to sight-read.

The Hebrew goes from right to left, but the chord symbols go from left to right. Also, they were not advised until they started playing what key the Cantor (on guitar) was playing in.

I would have run screaming from the building.


As BK might say, oy and vey!

I had about $10 in Papa Johns Dough money that was soon to expire.

So I ordered two medium one topping pizzas at $6.99 each for delivery.  With all of the added charges - less my Dough - the charge was $9.69 and I tipped the driver $5.....so I have food for the snow in for about $15.

Pizza is NOT on my diet but I thought I might get by if I make it last three days and don't have to cook!

I only hope I don't lose power.

No snow yet!


Vibes for getting through the storm just fine!

I think meteorologists should have a new storm-rating system.

Thank you, DR Freddie.  We are hunkered down, just waiting for it.

I do need to go out on Tuesday for my follow up appointment with my surgeon.

I really hope we have no remaining snow and ice on the ground.

Is someone driving you to your appointment?

Yes, Jane, I hired my late mother’s caregiver for all of my appointments.

I have been alone for all of the medical appointments, other than her.

It’s been challenging, to say the least.

It's visually stunning, but I just wasn't in the mood.
