For anyone in the New York Area

If you've been hearing about a scaffolding collapse - that was on the opposite end of the block where I live.

I was not home at the time of the collapse and did not hear about it for hours afterwards (my synagogue was doing a presentation on the environment and Judaism.) My husband was, at the time, at a cantorial conference in Teaneck, so he, too, is fine.

It is awful, my street is still, afaik, closed off and, on a minor note, while we have power, phone and internet, we do NOT have cable. In that we are more fortunate than others. Given the temperature outside, we are very, very grateful indeed.

It's always comforting to watch a major newsworthy event happen a block away from home and then be able to say, "So that's what that was." It's happened to me a few times. The Gods were surely watching over you and decided to use other characters in that scene. Mazel tov.

I didn't even have that. I was blocks away wondering if we'd be able to get speakers so we could hear Al Gore.

Jonathan told me when he called later.
