Tried driving up Directors Hill in a snow storm. It is a challenge to attempt wiith 4 wheel drive but stubborn as I am I tried it with the minivan. I've lived to say it cannot be done. After sliding a good 15 feet backwards I ended up sideways in the driveway on a steep hill. All was not lost. I cut the wheel hard and stepped on the gas a few times; first in reverse, then drive. Somehow I ended up facing back down the hill and I was wise enough to go in the direction pointed out to me..thanks god! Finally a 4x4 brought me up the hill and I got to our first singing practice. CD's of our Holiday concert were passed out. I dropped mine off to Dad this a.m. He did not make it to the Christmas show. Music makes him cry. I hope it makes me cry when I'm old and fragile as a moths' wing. That passion exists in us right to the very end is what makes us human and real. Signing off with that thought.
