The 46th day of 2016 was surreal in many ways. First, we were awoken at 3:30AM on 2/15/16 by a faulty smoke detector (thank goodness it was a false alarm) and had a hard time getting back to bed and also an even harder time waking up. Then I spent the whole workday in the basement of the Franklin Building and, when I surfaced, ice pellets were falling from the sky....I slipped and slided to the Band Room for Rehearsal and, when it was over, it was still icy outside. The drive home was even more treacherous once I left the highway for the local roads. Two ordeals - one involving fire (that was not) and one involving ice (that was). And, in both cases, I am thankful and feel blessed to be in my warm, safe, and non-slippery home! Slipping and sliding had me thinking of Paul Simon as I traversed the dangerous streets tonight....and hence, this day's song.
