We woke up bright & early for breakfast to a falling
snow. Predictions were for 8-15" & not to stop all day. We
had a SNOW DAY! With no chance to get to either work site, we
went to The Barn (where all the work material & tools are
stored) & accomplished a few things. We had to cut stair
stringers for the Seaview site. I worked with John Casale, Tim
Buckley & John O'Melia on this using a circular saw &
a jigsaw. John Almindinger, Sue Anderson, Betsy Kamienowski,
George Hellermann, & Mickey Hauer worked organizing
plumbing & electrical parts, along with assorted hardware.
Not the most stimulating work, but Hoxie, the Center Director,
really appreciated it. All that & we were done by 11:30am.
After lunch, we all tried some different things to make the
time pass. With all due respect to David Letterman:
