It’s Wednesday. Well, I don’t know who pissed off Mother Nature, but from what I’m hearing the Chicagoland area (and others) are in for one hell of a winter storm starting Thursday. We’re being told to expect blizzard conditions. They’re talking roughly 6-inches of the horrid white stuff with winds gusting to 50 MPH. Then the temperature is supposed to drop into the single digits with widespread power outages possible. And all this is arriving just in time for Christmas! What joy! We’re all gonna die!

Today I have a new amateur photo to share with all of you. Keep ’em coming… enjoy!

It’s Tuesday. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a huge fan of the comic strip Bloom County by Berkley Breathed. In 1991 he published a Christmas book “A Wish for Wings That Work” which was later adapted into the animated Christmas special. I like to feature it every year around the holidays and always watch it along with other animated holiday classics like A Charlie Brown Christmas. It runs around 22 minutes—check it out if you have the time.

It’s Monday. Brrr! Mother Nature has turned up the juice lately so now we have the horrid white stuff all over the ground. And over the weekend the temperature has taken a dive as well. When I got up yesterday morning it was only 15 degrees outside. Throw in some wind and you have all the ingredients for a Chicagoland winter. Thankfully, I didn’t have to go out into that mess over the weekend, so I was able to stay warm and cozy indoors.

The cold/flu that I’ve been fighting for the past week seems to have finally relented. The fever is gone and I’m starting to feel better every day. That was a horrible experience and I hope I can get through the rest of the winter without getting another. Though that’s going to be difficult through the holidays.

The Bears. Well, yesterday afternoon they went up against the best team in the league, the Eagles. Nobody thought the Bears had a chance in hell, and they were right—the Bears lost (25 – 20). However, it wasn’t the blowout people were expecting. The Bears played hard and did a respectable job. Once again this was another game they could’ve won but didn’t.
