Polar vortex

I am a victim of the monstrous Polar Vortex. I arrived safely in Kingston last night, my bag did not. It is currently enjoying Boston, will then go to Atlanta, then hopefully here tonight. Flying yesterday was a nightmare, many delayed flights (things still seem to be backed up from the Polar Vortex), tight connections and agitated people. But anytime I end up 36,000 feet above the earth inside a cylindrical metal object and make it back to Earth safely, I am happy.

Kingston is just the same, of course, and blissfully hot. Enjoy your Friday.

Certainly wish I was landing somewhere with some sun. Still in it. Went out this morning and 3 inches of powder was on the ground. Needless to say I was shocked.
