Good morning all!

We got through the Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday snowstorms okay. We're now at the second snowiest March on record for the Philadelphia area. At least we're not poor Erie, Pennsylvania, which currently sits at a total of 191.5 inches of snow for the winter …

… Ivelis and I visited with our very sick friend yesterday (Thursday) evening. He can only speak in a whisper, but he seemed in good spirits—unafraid. His wife told us that so many people have visited him that she’s taken to calling him “The Godfather."
 
The four of us sat around and told Corvette and travel stories—we stayed for perhaps 20 to 25 minutes. Despite his sickness, his essential trait remains—he looks you straight in the eye when he talks to you.
