From the Jan. 13, 2016, Chicago Tribune "The Talk" by Mary Schmich.
As we have a winter storm warning for tonight, but so far, we can't really complain about winter as it hasn't been overly bad, even though I see we're close to normal amounts of snow.
IT'S NOT REALLY WINTER IN CHICAGO UNTIL YOU'VE:
Gone in search of long underwear.
Lost at least one glove.
Seen your heating bill and swear.
The ice turns black and lingers for at least two weeks.
Slipped on that ice.
Shoveled (or used the snowblower) at least three times.
Felt vaguely guilty about letting someone else do the shoveling.
Cursed your neighbor for not shoveling.
Forsaken nice looking shoes for ugly boots.
Winter. UUGGHH!! --RoadDog
KIDS SAY THE DARNDEST THINGS:
Teacher: Tommy, why do you always get so dirty?
Tommy: Well, I'm a lot closer to the ground than you are.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
