I hope they made it before yomtov.<BR/><BR/>Twice in my life I've been stuck on the road before Shabbos. Each time I walked home (in once case east across Washington, DC in a blizzard and in the other across Baltimore), and took days to recover. This has made me very careful to leave extra extra time and to know many alternate routes.<BR/><BR/>Next time you're in Baltimore, let me know, and please let us have you by us for a meal.TechnoYidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16131469748643210648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13326001.post-1160684054966818102006-10-12T16:14:00.000-04:002006-10-12T16:14:00.000-04:00NY Funnyman - And you didn't come say hi?!
