How do you describe -5 degrees? Bitter, awful, wicked? No, just ours. And I know through recent communications, my brothers are not sympathetic, because they have it worse. And it is supposed to get worse. No outdoor grilling for now.
We have had the pleasure to see a few concerts, one old band, Marshall Tucker, and one recent, the very talented guitarist Jesse Cook. It is fun to go to concerts where the audience is our age. Everyone knows where the bathrooms are.
Last night we had the fun pleasure to see a taping of Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me for NPR. What a hoot (courtesy of Claire from Christmas)! Great to see Chicago legend Bill Kurtis, and the cast was very funny. Before the show, got to visit Daniel's new digs in downtown Chicago. Quite the set up, with a salon and custom clothier in same location. Above my pay grade. All conveniently located to the show and parking, but each block was windy and cold.
Talked with Claire this week, who is hunkered down in Michigan. So far no big snows, but Lake Michigan never disappoints. Hoping to see a concert or two in March, weather permitting.
Came home from Chicago with a cold. No Nyquil, dammit! Every year I try to remember Jeffrey's little Nyquil jingle and can't remember. Something about falling face first on the floor. Jeffrey, if you are listening, release those emails!
It is too bad the refs decided the super bowl teams (is that a dig?). But it is great that it gives some Dickson households the opportunity to get together. The Packer and Giants fans will just have to find a good movie.
Lur is plugging along at the hospital, where the winter season gets busier. We are looking forward to spending more time in the city, as we won a public radio contest that gives us tickets to all kinds of stuff, like the symphony, aquarium, cruises and fireworks.
"Andrew ended up with the lion's share". Yes I did. We have the pleasure of having Mom's hand knit hats and mittens, which are super for days like today. Are you jealous yet? BAM!
Hope you are having winter fun! We are trying to send this stuff your way. Sorry
