Not your typical walk to school (December 1998)

Well we had some freezing rain this morning and the trees looked really pretty, but the ground was very slippery. I don't know this for certain, but based on how slowly Daddy was walking, I would guess that much. If anyone wants a funny picture, visualize this:

Bill Cohen with Jolee on his shoulders, holding an umbrella in his right hand, also carrying his briefcase slung over his right shoulder, Jolee's school bag slung over his left shoulder, and a bag of dry cleaning in his left hand, thinking how many grandmothers would be extremely worried if they could see this hulk making his way over the icy sidewalks and streets on the way to the Bay Ridge Play Place.
 
Incidentally, the Dry Cleaners was closed.
