    Progress is being made. The celery has been deveined (not my term). The rare roast beast slices are
    arranged on the platters. The hoity toity ham is arranged on the platters. The cream cheese
    coffeecakes that I baked Tuesday night and schlepped on Wednesday for Margaret's freezer are on
    lovely glass plates. The cheese board is arranged. The strudels (apple and cherry from Margaret's
    neighbor Laura) are arranged on the sideboard. The olives are placed. The grissini sticks are
    settled in a tumbler for easy service. The cheese sticks are on a small plate. The lox is arranged
    on its platters. The sausages are about to meet the knife. The party starts in two hours.

    Sheryl has called and is snowed in. Terry arrived after 10 hours from OC to NYC -- via Buffalo for a
    refueling stop, and what she referred to as a gypsy cab. Her term, not mine.

    It's a pity there's not much food. It's 9:58 a.m. and Margaret has finished last evening's wine.
    Tsk, tsk. Poor dear. "-)

    The TaB is nearly gone, but The Blood Mary Meister is en route.

    Sam was two yesterday and potty training began on Wednesday. M&Ms are powerful motivators.

    It's good to be me. It sucks to be you. -Barb from Margaret's account

    I'll have to agree with you on that.

    I'm still watching the weather and it ain't lookin' good.

    If conditions would stay like as they are now, I'd go. This is nothing. But I keep hearing "blizzard
    warning," "white out conditions," etc. which might impact on getting home later. The subway is no
    problem of course; it's getting to and from the stations that's the issue. Damn :<

    Can you say Sleepover? Margaret has Guest Toothbrushes. She sanitizes them in red wine
    between guests.

    Rodney is coming. Terry is in town. Haven't heard from Jack today.

    that's the problem that I had, Sue. The train is easy, but getting there..augh.

    And there is always the possibility that high winds could knock down the overhead wires the trains
    get their power from.

    Make some cocoa. I'm planning to call Margaret's later and phone in my participation!

    Nothing! I've been watching the weather film of NYC and it looks amazingly horrific! I can't imagine
    living in such weather let along trying to get around in it!

    Having lived even farther north most of my life, I don't mind it per se. I have though developed a
    healthy respect for changeable weather and "delays in buses," as per the radio!

    It's sunny here today! It took me 20 min to remove the snow from my car this morning after I
    shoveled the sidewalk, and I'm counting on the sun this afternoon to take care of the residual
    coating of ice on the car :>

    I hope your trip home was less eventful. Well, by next year they will have the AirTrain from JFK up
    and running so you won't have to rely on taxis.

    I'm originally from NY, but have lived in California for over twenty years. It was the weather that
    drove me away. I now have a very strict policy of never visiting anyplace with a winter climate
    during a month which has an "R" in it. There are a lot of things I miss about New York. But I sure
    as hell don't miss getting up two hours early to shovel twelve inches of snow out of my driveway for
    the pleasure of driving sideways to work.
