Happy 1st Day of Spring!
Didn’t we just have a (winter!) week of 50°F plus weather, culminating in two days over 60)? Oh well, that’s Chicago for you! 😮 Derek

What a week
The Thursday before last, I shot all of one car at two dealers- highly unusual, so on Monday that was more than made up for by having 18 cars to do between the same two dealers. Normally this would make me quite happy, but not so much on a Monday following a snowfall. For starters, …
Snow, driving, drifts and ditches.
Game night 1 of this weekend is finished. Played a couple of fun games, had some fun food (brownies are always good), and fun/good friends. We played/talked well into the early morning. It was snowing and blowing in the area so I expected a treacherous drive on the way home. The roads were turning nasty …
Light At The End Of The Snow Bank
Can it be? There does seem to be an end to the winter. After the last two days of up to 10″ of snow, I got a cheery email ad. MLB pitchers and catchers are to report on February 17 (THAT IS ONE WEEK FROM TODAY FOLKS!). Full team squad report on the 23rd. Spring …
A wet, snowy journey home
It seems as if yesterday I skipped over Saturday morning, so I guess I will go back to it before skipping ahead to Sunday. Saturday morning several of us met at Ritzy’s (did I get that right?) for breakfast. For those who weren’t there, they somehow interpreted a party of 12 as a party of …
You Live In Chicago If…
Even though I don’t live in Chicago anymore (thank goodness because I’m not a big fan of crowds or traffic, two things which help define the city!), I still appreciate the humor in the following forward sent to me by a relative who ironically also moved away from the Chicago area a few years ago. …
The Unborn Gran Torino
Luckily for us, Tuesday’s date night was not hindered by the recent barrage of snow in any way. We ventured to the larger town nearby to see what all the Golden Globe fuss was about Clint Eastwood’s latest movie, Gran Torino (they didn’t have Slumdog Millionaire). But after the previews and especially when the movie …
Winter is just getting started!!
Yesterday (Monday 12-Jan) at this time we had winter storm warning forecast for this afternoon into the morning and a Blizzard watch for Wednesday afternoon into the evening. The winter storm warning has been canceled, but we still may have blizzard conditions tomorrow. This is on top of the 8 to 12 inches of …
Winter Weather Ahead
I’m all cozy at home waiting for a winter storm. We already have about 3.5 to 4 inches of snow on the ground with up to another 12 inches still coming. I realize that for some parts of this country, that is just flurries, but for my part of Ohio, that is a major storm. …
More winter weather
Today we are receiving more winter weather today. While the temperature has warmed up, we are getting more snow and a possibility of more freezing rain. With me having to drive to Toledo tomorrow. I hope the weather clears up before I need to leave. Rain, snow, and other freezing stuff. I guess I am …
