Short talk with Agnes, long talk with Maggie, who lost all
her jewelry in a break in on New Year's Eve. Talking with
Lani who hasn't checked the website yet, but thought she
might have time tonight. Clear, cold. It feels good so far

Heavy shower of hail early this evening, that
turned to wet snow. At 6:30 headed out to
see the show. At least a dozen buses stalled
at the northern end of the Granville Bridge
Got as far as Broadway & turned back,
walking down a quiet alleyway to the bottom,
& then back across the bridge, freezing cold,
the snow swirling around me in the gusty
winds. Email from Lani, who was finally able
to connect to the site

through a thin fog, creating a lovely halo of
orange light around the containers & ships

Talking to Maggie this morning, who has no idea
who Michelangelo is, but recognized a section
of the Sistine Chapel, that she'd seen in Las
Vegas. Talking to Ady on the phone...
