Stormy Weather

Mississippi Pizza by the slice was good last night. We heard two groups. One was playing "Old Music." This was the first time for me to hear this term. Henry said it is very popular in Portland. The second group was "Midnight Serenaders" and they played old time jazz. Henry plays Hawaiian steel guitar for them. My favorite song was a Billie Holiday number titled "Comes Love." I enjoyed both groups. I met a woman there named Emily who works in video production for a cable access program. She told me about some opportunities to take editing and camera classes for very low prices. I'm gonna look into them.

Today I was supposed to help Thea get a Christmas tree, but the freeways in Portland were shut down due to snow--about an inch on the roads. I'm sure people in places like North Dakota and Minnesota would be puzzled at how that amount of snow could paralyze a city. There wasn't much snow here in Hazel Dell, but my folks had 6-7 inches out at their place. They were snowed in and couldn't attend my niece Megan's birthday party.

I had Chinese take out for supper tonight. My fortune said "Your life will be prosperous if you use your creativity."
