Chicago Blizzard

this pic is for you tkw

A little bit of a story to start with... When the blizzard hit I was at work in the city, Most of us ended up staying there for several reasons so I worked from 5:00am Tuesday morning until 7:00pm Wednesday evening, about 38 hours...

Here is what I learned

1. A double shot of espresso with half and half on ice gives you an nice jolt and goes down easily.
2. Eight of them makes you a little jumpy.
3. My cellphone shaped flask does not hold enough bourbon.
4. Though there are probably less comfortable ways to sleep than propped between two office chairs I am hard pressed to name any.
5. The guy in the office next to mine snores
6. A Toyota Rav4 in the middle of a blizzard is more comfortable than the office chair set-up.
7. I can still pull an all-nighter and survive.

Kris was trapped at home with the kiddie pops while I was trapped in the city.  My beautiful wife had to shovel the drive which took her most of the day... I had to feed a bunch of crabby people that had sleeping situations similar to mine.

After all that I have today off, Miss Lu and I are going to try making an igloo... I'll let you know how it went.
