LHS subcommittee cancelled for tonight

Funny, how even after decades of living, you can still learn new things about yourself. Today, I learned I’m not a great decider when it comes to cancelling events because of the weather—especially when it hasn’t even started snowing yet. (Imagine if I had to decide whether to call a snow day!) I had major moments of indecision about not holding the meeting tonight, which was to be broadcast live from LHS beginning at 7 p.m. Since the LHS subcommittee hasn’t met since October, a key factor in my decision to postpone was the availability of the Colleen Creegan TV Studio for a Feb. 27 meeting date, just a few weeks away. Also impacting my decision was the fact that fellow subcommittee member Dave Conway is home sick, and the city has instituted a parking ban for tonight. Of course, now that we’ve cancelled, the snow probably won’t start until midnight instead of late this afternoon as predicted.
