boxes, hats with flowers

Lots of success this weekend. We avoided the malls and went out early enough to stay out of the heaviest traffic. It helps having at least one person (Tom) who can be decisive, so you can all blame him.

Delivered to the post office this morning. Two packages are going to Olean. I ran out of boxes, so I hope you all make it to Little Valley over the holiday.

No snowboarding for us this weekend, but we did go to a concert at Strathmore Hall Saturday night--the Messiah as arranged by Quincy Jones for a symphony orchestra, jazz band, and gospel choir. It worked. Lots of strong women with great voices. I think the director was about 18 years old. The audience was filled with women who know how to wear interesting clothes--red suits, hats with flowers, long minks, and a fair amount of jewelry. I went as a subdued suburbanite.
