By now everyone has heard about the crash of Continental Flight 3407 in Clarence, last night. Buffalo is often described as the biggest small town in America, with only 3 degrees of separation between everyone in the community, instead of the usual 6 degrees. While most of us may not know anyone personally on board that flight, we all know at least someone who does, and that makes this day especially hard for all of us, as a community.
A day like today shows us again how life can change in an instant.

Our little baby girl started kindergarten this week. Like many parents, we watched her get on the bus for the first time, and then followed the bus to school. Like many parents, it was a momentous occasion for us – the ending of one era, and the beginning of another. For Darcy, it was a brief pause, a wave, a smile, and no big deal.
No, it was a very big deal. Our little baby wasn’t a baby anymore.
But we will always remember.

The amount of snow we got this weekend would undoubtedly have shut down the state of Virginia for a week. The Governor would have declared a state of emergency. My former radio station would have gone full-on “SnowWatch” mode, with wall-to-wall closings and cancellation info.
Here in Western New York, there isn’t a single school closing to report at the moment. We knew snow was coming, we prepared for it, we dealt with it, life continues unabated. Southerners, take note: you can actually have fun when it snows!
Back to work tomorrow,
