We were worried about our son-in-law who is in London a few times a month. He answered the phone and told us they were all okay. Our daughter Megan, usually the stay at home mom, was also okay but stuck in London at very posh hotel with a high school friend who is now a music executive with Warner. It seems she went up to London to see her friend and some old band buddies from Georgia that she has know since high school days. After the show in Nottinghham they were up until four in the morning with the band and have had very little sleep. I spoke to my daughter on a cell phone a few minutes ago. She is pretty freaked out and very sleep deprived. She says nothing is moving in London. The streets are blocked with abandoned buses. She estimates that she and her high school friend will be stuck in the hotel for at least another day. The friend was supposed to fly back to NY today but there is no way to get to the airport. My comment was. "poor things." The band is R.E.M. Frank...N2FF......
