— I am looking forward to meeting all of you in New York City tomorrow. I honestly never expected that many people to email me about meeting up so next time we’re going to reserve a place to sit down for dinner/drinks. There is also a major snowstorm headed up the east coast which spells trouble obviously. I believe it’s set to start Saturday afternoon and end Sunday with over a foot of snow expected in some places. My train is expected to arrive back here in Albany at 3:00AM on Sunday but who knows with the impending weather. We’ll keep you posted.
