Thank you all for the good wishes, and special Hippo Birdies for my birthday Twins.
I'm in my Mom's kitchen sitting in front of the big picture window and watching several flights of geese taking off from the pond. Yesterday, I drove one of her friends to a CVS which was open on Xmas, so I got to see one of the farms where they evidently spend their days. There must have been, I kid you not, 500 geese in that field. I'm going back today with my camera.

Grace is definitely a winter, because that red dress looks so good on her.

Oh, and Happy Boxing Day people, whatever that means. (Besides sales in some places and a stat holiday for me.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Birthday Happies for Jesse and Theo!!

So who else has to work today?
Anyway, everything in Chicago is coated in ice. After trying to walk on the icy sidewalk while holding on to a fence, I decided it was safer to walk in the streets. I passed a woman who was trying to stand on big lumps of frozen snow that were covered in glare ice while she tried to scrape the ice off her windshield... I don't know how she'd be able to clear her windshield that way.
So I went out for breakfast, and then discovered the CTA trains weren't running. So I took a bus to Clark, and waited 25 minutes for a Clark St. bus. Eventually one came, and slowly made its way to Howard St (on the boarder of Chicago and Evanston) where I discovered that Purple Line trains were at least running in Evanston (but not to the Chicago loop). I had better luck there, as a purple line train arrived shortly, and then the 250 bus in Evanston was actually on time. So the 250 dropped me off a block from work, and then I proceeded to almost fall several times on my one-block walk to work.
The high is supposed to be 40-ish today, so hopefully the ice will be all melted when I go home.

We have fog and a predicted high of 71 today.
