Welcome to Jam Session. I'm Juliet Lippman.

I'm Amanda Dobbins.

Amanda, there's no balloons here today, you may notice. And we're having tactical difficulties here in New York. So just thanks, you're bearing with me. After larger technical difficulties in New York,

I felt bad. It only occurred to me at 752 PST last night that you and Bell Roman might have some

issues getting to the office.

And did I need to check in?

And that was well after everyone's bedtime in New York.

And I'm sorry.

It's totally okay.

Thanks for thinking of us at all.

I, as discussed last week, I have been having really bad sciatica and therefore sleeping very little. So on Saturday night, like, or Friday night into Saturday, I became aware, I would say like 2 a.m. Saturday time became aware that things had escalated to a blizzard warning.

And I was like, I don't think so.

I will not be having another snowed in day when I can't sleep just me and Micah,

which is a lovely situation, but not great, you know, for snow.

So we went to my parents on the Upper West Side

on Saturday evening. And then this morning, Tuesday, we're able, I just came up with a plan.

We left Manhattan, went to Brooklyn. I'm back in Manhattan. Here we are. Delighted to be at work,

not delighted by the technical difficulties, but we're making

it work. Yeah. You know, I did wonder, I saw a close friend's photo, sorry to all of you who are not close friends, of Micah in a car seat this morning. And I was like, did they drive to daycare because of the snow? But that seems difficult. But now you've just explained it. Yeah. We took a car from my parents on the Upper West Side to take care in Park Slope.

Mm-hmm. that seems difficult, but now you've just explained it. Yeah. We took a car from my parents on the Upper West Side to daycare in Park Slope,

and then I went home in Park Slope, and then I came back to Manhattan to do my job.

That's more invalid you needed, but here we are.
