It
was a tough night to get a jam together due to a pending snow storm.
Trister alerted us that he wouldn't play if there was snow and Rich didn't
want to try to limp around in his cast and crutches in the snow. I
can't blame him for being a little cautious. The decision to play or
not was up in the air all day. The storm came later than predicted
so Kev, Coffee and I headed to the city. We would have had to pay
for the room anyway so why no the attempt? 
In addition, Bill Siegel
also made the long trek into the city from Flemington and missing the
first set. A tough ride in and a short jam for him but the effort is
greatly appreciated. Once Bill came in it gave the music a
significant amount of more structure and we did some good stuff. The
snow was on Kev's mind all night. I don't know why cause he didn't
even drive. Coffee-Bro did. There we no guests in the
room. What meschuganas would go out on a night like this?
Anyway another tough snowy night in the books for Deadstein.
We quit at about 10:05 to go home. The roads
were pretty bad. Traffic into the Lincoln tunnel on the way home
sucked. The snow was sticking profusely to the car and it was tough
to see out of the windows, Finally go off the Lincoln Tunnel helix
in a bout a half hour. It was snowing hard with big flacks for the
next half hour along the Route 3 to 46 corridor. Kathy was taking me
through it all. My descriptions of slips and slides put her to sleep
which left me alone on Route I-80. 
Alone on a dark highway with no
indications of where the road started and stopped. Not too much
evidence of plowing either. Three to five inches on the road and
times more and a 30 mph max. It was tough to squint through the
windshield. I cleaned my wipers off at one point by pulling
over. They were frozen solid. Unfortunately the driver's side
wipers came off in my hand while cleaning it. While I panicked it
when right back on and away I went. Finally hit a real deep snow
drift on Route and did a slow 90 degree spin. No one around but
uncontrolled nevertheless. Home by 12:15 only 20 late. Pretty
good.
In the world, John Kerry won the New Hampshire primary. Rangers just got Jarimeer Jagr and Nets fired Byron Scott for not winning the NBA finally when he got there for the past two years.. Kev, Coffee and I ate at the Fresco Taco where I indulged in my usual C-5.
Till next Tuesday when it's hopefully a bit nicer out.
