We are unbelievably in the biggest snow storm of December in recent history here in Chicago. It all started downtown around 3:30 or so and man oh man is it fallin like no tomorrow. I have no idea how long it's going to take me to get home. I take public trans. and it's bad enough on a regular day! At least I'll have my friend Kelli to keep me company. And if we bore each other to death she has her book and I have my iPod. Sucks even more since I don't have winter boots. I know - I know - what kind of lifetime Chicagoan doesn't have winter boots! Well I asked for some on my Xmas list and there's someone who knows I need them, so hopefully I'll have them before the January blizzards roll in. Stay warm everyone in cold climates...and to all you in hot locations...go swim with the sharks! ha ha hee hee...JK
