New Haven, CT

Yesterday, on my last day of winter break, I drove to New Haven to spend a day at Yale University's music library, the housing facility of the Kay Swift Papers. They contain writings, correspondence, articles, unpublished music, programs, biographical materials, photos, and more. It was really exciting to have my hands on her personal things.

On the way home, I went from the bottom of Connecticut (New Haven) up to Hartford, in the middle, and instead of catching 84 East to Central Massachusetts, I caught 84 West which took me an hour and a half in the opposite direction, to the southwestern tip of Connecticut, almost New York, adding three hours to my two hour commute home last night. Ugh.

Ugh! Mom just told me about your adventure. I'm so glad you made it home okay. I bet you were exhausted, that was a long day. Hope you got fired up for your project! I'm praying for you ;)

Glad to see you found some time for posting and for making significant progress toward your thesis.

Thinking of you today and missing you!
The temps have warmed yesterday and today (mid 40s!) and I'm finding some relief.
Ground breaking is scheduled for March 3 and as of now, the final walkthrough is set for July 15.
