Last morning in Milwaukee.  There was quite a storm yesterday, commencing with heavy rain accompanied by amazing lightning, that turned into sleet, and finally into snow.
End result was just a couple of inches, and this morning is bright and sunny.  I heard that Minneapolis got a bit more snow, but, by the time I get there, late this afternoon, I don't expect any major impact on air traffic.
Should be in Portland by 7, and at a friend's art show by 7:45.  One more visit to Mom's place this morning before I head out.  Yesterday I played piano for the crowd and, as always, it was pretty well received (and good for me, too).
Each visit shows her slowing down a little more, but, now approaching 93, she still reads the paper and takes a short walk outside every day, weather permitting.  Her hearing isn't great, and her memory is fading, but she's still there keeping going.  I should do so well, at that age.
Sure looking forward to being home - it's been an amazing week, with the election news.  I almost feel like I'll be reborn, when I step off the plane in Portland.
