9-356 (22/12/22) -- Altered Holiday Plans

It was a lovely day today -- blue sky with cooler temperatures and very little wind. It felt good to see sun and sky after a week of greyness. It won't last more than today, though, as a big storm is coming our way tomorrow. I have been charging electronics and planning what to pack in the 'go bag'. I will cook a few things that will be good without re-heating or will make reasonable sandwiches should we lose power. By bedtime I realized I'd forgotten to pick up two somethings when out today, so will head out earlier tomorrow before the weather becomes awful. The storm is messing with holiday travel plans for many people. I will be going up the hill -- a 20-30 minute walk, and things should be less frightful by then. Tomorrow we expect lots of rain here and strong wind gusts that may create downed power lines. Crews have been readying to restore any outages over the holiday weekend -- meaning they won't be with their families much like others unable to travel. 

The selection today is one that I looked forward to hearing every year. The artist sang this on Letterman annually. The video shared is from the last performance there. Keep in mind she was 73 at the time -- so age doesn't mean we can't still do things well from the floor or on top of the grand piano. <smile> Stay safe. Enjoy!
