Well, I picked the worst day to plan to drive to the U of M to test all the pianos for contest.  Not only did I need to get there by 8:30, which puts me smack dab in the middle of rush hour traffic… but it was AWFUL driving weather.  The snow and slush and heavy traffic made me have to literally peel my fingers loose from my steering wheel when I finally got there.  I heard there were some terrible accidents this morning and I am so incredibly grateful that I was able to get there and back safely.  Driving downtown stresses me out.   Yuck!
