Since we had some winter here at GOC Central, here’s some of Vivaldi’s Winter.

My sister and bil drove down from Columbia South Carolina yesterday. She was here to attend a presentation today by one of the foremost authorities on the type of cancer she has.

The good news. Atlanta closed all the schools around noon and I guess everyone let their employees off early as well. Because of that, when they hit Atlanta around 4:00 PM there was virtually no traffic.

The bad news. As we were going out to dinner, she got a message on her phone that said the presentation was canceled. The doctor was flying in from Boston and either there were problems in Boston or problems in Atlanta so he couldn’t make it. So they made the trip for nothing. On the upside, they did get to see me and I put them to work organizing the bookshelves in my library. My sister took these pictures of the global warming at GOC Central.

This one was from last night.

It continued to snow last night, which was a good excuse for me to light a fire in the fireplace and for my bil and I to sip some good cognac, Delamain Vesper.

My sister took this picture this morning.

You can click on the images to enlarge.

Overall we got between 3 and 4 inches of snow. This is really unheard of in early December in Atlanta.

This one is from Jon H. (more…)
