Well it starts snowing at about 7pm this evening and into the night and should
turn into a blizzard @ an inch per hour on Monday. I have fond memories of my
daughter Taryn being born on February 23, 1987. We lived in Pikesville,
Maryland then and it started to snow like heck. She had this strange
"prodromal" labor for several days and couldn't sleep. She got a prescription
for a barbiturate that wouldn't cross over the placenta and would help her
sleep but I had to drive to a hospital to get it from their pharmacy. I had a
1973 Porsche 914, one of the lowest cars around yet absolutely wonderful in the
snow so I drove it to the hospital, only a few miles away and astounded other
cars that were getting stuck. So the medication afforded her some sleep to give
her energy to really go into labor. The snow was 36" deep and we had to call
911 which launched a hook and ladder truck an EMS truck etc. I remember the
firemen (and women) who came into the house with a stretcher. We went out to
the ambulance at 2am and my neighbors, who had dug out a path to the street,
were on both sides of the sidewalk clapping! Where can you find a neighborhood
like this nowadays? Since there was a skeleton staff at the hospital, I
certainly got to help with the delivery. So my daughter Taryn's 39th birthday
is tomorrow. She is quite pregnant and she and her producer husband will have a
courthouse wedding in Santa Barbara Ca on March 16th. What a long strange trip
it has been!
