I’m in New York City through Saturday morning, and took the opportunity after meetings today at Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle to (a) experience the heavy snowfall that began this afternoon and (b) check out Cristo’s ‘Gates’ project. My brain has a hard time with these – one side sees the Zen ‘saffron’ color and feels like it makes sense – while the other side of the noggin’ sees a construction site. Anyway, the installation looks downright magical in the snow. Don’t know if these images do it justice or not, but take a look. And for a different set of ‘Gates’, visit the Sommerville Gates project.

Atlanta was hit by a major ice storm which began Friday night and continued into Saturday, and the lingering affects continue into Sunday. I’ve posted a gallery of images taken around our house – I didn’t venture too far out as (a) I am still recovering from a nasty cold and (b) the roads were close to impassable with over one inch of solid ice. Amy’s baby shower was postponed 24 hours due to the weather, and the Atlanta Symphony concert and dinner we’d planned to attend with my Mom, visiting from Savannah, were also cancelled. But the party will go on today, and mom’s flight to West Palm Beach to visit her sister Hilda will be on Monday, instead of today.

To work off our Thanksgiving Dinner at Shon and Alonzo’s (mmmm good!), Joey, Amy, Nikki, Shon, Alondra and Maddie headed off to Zoo Atlanta The kids were well behaved, and the animals were out in force. Click on the image at left or here to see the gallery.
