A round-up of sorts.
First: Weather!
We certainly have some! Here in town we had a little snow late last evening followed by freezing rain overnight. Ice on the car: 1/4-1/2 inch thick, part of it low-density. Slop on the sidewalks: about an inch. Man, that stuff was not very much fun to clear off. Took me about an hour and a half (it's a big corner lot) in the ( Read more... ) -

Friday night
So last night I went to see the Joffrey Ballet. I've never watched ballet before in my life -- I wasn't even ever taken to a performance of the Nutcracker as a child, or anything. It was interesting. About 3/4 of the way through I was having a little trouble staying awake, but that probably has as much to do with my long week as anything. The ( Read more... )
