OFF THE BEAT

But I’m really terrible at it.  It’s one of those games that passed me by in childhood. And now it seems too late to catch up.

Oh, to be stranded in Cleveland. Canceled flights forced Kate and I to overnight here on our way home from Syracuse, NY, where it WASN’T snowing at all. Instead of sleeping on the floor of the terminal, we popped for a cheap motel room. Here, we await a motel shuttle outside the airport during a fast-moving snowstorm that slammed the Midwest last weekend.  Yes, there were snowballs.
