Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

Another twenty inches (at least) of fresh stuff.  This time, I have some kind of chest cold, so I feel guilty that Todd is outside shovelling and I'm all warm and cozy with my cup of tea!  Hogan definitely can't navigate now.  Not sure how we're handling that one yet. 


It seems to have stopped for now.  Next priority is getting the plow guys here so that I can get out for the "Orange Out" in Madison Square Garden tonight!!  Woo Hoo!


I'm no Sam Champion (local weather guy), but here are a couple of clips of today's downfall.

Ahhh! Winter!!

What's not to LOVE about more than 12 inches of fresh, white snow?!? 

Everything looked like a picture postcard this morning when we took Hogan for his walk in Southport.

Let's see if I can give you a link to the whole photo album from the storm, our shovelling adventures and the dog walk:  Click Here to see the album

How Many Concerts Until You're Officially a Groupie?

We saw Marc Cohn at Town Hall in New York (Times Square) last night.  It was, as always, AMAZING!  Don't ever, ever miss a chance to see him.  He never dissappoints. 

 

So, on the way home we tried to count the number of MC concerts we've been to:

 

• Fairfield Theatre Co. (the BEST--it was like a "Behind the Music" format and we were second row, center...almost too close!)
• Westport Playhouse (A guy gave this concert to his wife for a 40th b-day present, the public could buy the remaining tickets.  BTW, perhaps the worst of the series.)
• Ridgefield Playhouse (at least four times that we can count, maybe 5)
• Mohegan Sun Cabaret Theatre
• Pace University, NYC
• Fairfield Quick Center
• Town Hall, NYC

 

I think that makes 10.  Are we groupies, yet?

A Weekend of "Excessive Celebration," Thanks to the Orange

What a weekend for my Orange!

I road-tripped to Syracuse to watch the first-ever Pinstripe Bowl with fellow fans (a.k.a. the Harle's) in "Jamesville's only gated community."  We had a "luxury suite" in the living room, complete with a full spread of fare and free drinks galore. 

What a game!  So exciting.  And at the end:  EXCESSIVE CELEBRATION!!!  (Only those who watched may get the nuance). 

The next night we went to an awesome NY Eve party and stayed up till the wee hours.

Next day:  To the Carrier Dome!!  We had great seats and got to see our beloved Orange school the Irish.  Hey, is Olivia wearing my shirt???

The girls learned to do the "freshman stomp" at the Dome, too!
