Hi Riobard...sorry to hear of Joan's injury...that will cool her jets for a little while! :) Also hope your virus has disappeared..they can be a pain in the neck. :) I bet the G.A.A. board missed you at their meeting. But thankfully you will be there for the next one. So you have snow...bet it is nothing like Boston received over night....something like 2 feet and there were higher numbers in other areas of the state. At the moment it is 17 degrees and freezing. Going to be rough trying to dig out tomorrow when the snow itself has frozen all the way through. The Governor actually banned driving on the roads yesterday from 4:00 p.m. until today at 4:00 p.m. It was funny to not see any cars driving around, plus the MTA trains and buses were stopped for safety sake. They are more than likely out until Monday morning. A huge communication connection in Quincy is down and won't be repaired until late Sunday. Have a feeling there are a lot of people who depend on the "T" for transportation will be out of sorts by Monday. Tell Joan I send my best wishes for a quick healing of her ankle and my best to you too.

My good wife broke her ankle in two places and was doctor-wise in Cork City, and, on top of that, I have been in trouble with a virus picked up somewhere, and, as President of Beara G.A.A., I had to miss my first ever meeting of the Beara Board* recently due to being in Cork City* doctor-bound *. It broke my heart having to miss it, because the G.A.A. (as well as athletics) has been a big part of my sporting life over the years. *I suppose that is what I get for giving away the womens' ages in my genealogical research !!* A man can't have it every way ---- but I hope to be back in action in a small way when the snow clears away. I hope all of you are safe and well. *----* Riobard ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
