Tuesday==>Another Damn Snow Day!!

Good morning my loyal and faithful readers. In The Greatest City In The World we had light snow flurries @ 8:30am this morning and the temperature was 28º.

Now three hours later the snow is coming down harder. All Billi Pod can say is that this is getting mighty tiresome and it’s only the end of January.

Yeah, yeah ... I know ... please no emails and/or texts ... I am here in the Northeast in the Winter by choice and ... yes ... If I wanted to, I could be somewhere else, in a warmer climate. All I can say is ... be careful what you wish for ... Billi Pod could end up sleeping on your couch for the rest of the Winter ... think about it before you send any snarky responses ...

Because it was so damned cold, Billi Pod stayed in yesterday during the day, meaning==>no errands and stuff.

It warmed up a bit in the evening (18º), so I met up with John Scott Reed aka Fabson for dinner at Joe Allen.

We had a great time and I am happy to report that he is enjoying his new career path as Director of Operations & Executive Assistant to the CEO, Lori Levine, of Flying Television, a talent booking and brokering firm.

Unfortunately for Billi Pod, the delicate and highly confidential nature of his professional responsibilities prohibit him from sharing even the smallest of “insider” details - dammit-to-Hell - and he won’t budge. Oh well ...

I hope the snow ends soon because I really have some things and stuff I need to do, including an overdue trip to the grocery store.

As might be expected there is a lot of ... woulda, coulda, shoulda ... stuff in the local papers over the Jets/Steelers game on Sunday.

Tons of second guessing. To all of this Billi Pod says==>Hey guys, the season is over, so let’s move the f**k on ... OK?

Kinda different entertainment schedule for the remainder of the week in that I have 3 classical music concerts on tap. Tonight is the Budapest Festival Orchestra, Thursday is the New York Philharmonic, and Saturday is the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra.

So, details about tonight --

8:00==>BUDAPEST FESTIVAL ORCHESTRA @ Lincoln Center - Haydn’s Symphony No.102; Haydn’s Piano Concerto in D major; and, Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring. (discounted TDF ticket).

Still snowing and it looks beautiful from way up here on the 41st floor in warm and cozy PHC. The snow flakes are huge.

I will close with the usual ...

Musings from THE MIND OF BILLI POD (a memoir in progress):

“Bright times depend on the amount of light at the end of the tunnel.”

GO GATORS AND GO YANKEES!!
