I’ve got the house to myself for the weekend. Berck and his dad spent Thursday night here on their way back from California. They got to Nashville last night. The rain on my way to work Friday morning turned to sleet when I pulled into the parking lot. By 9:30 a.m. there was two and a half inches of snow everywhere, and it was still coming down in thick, wet flakes. But the temperature never got below freezing, so by the time I went home it had all pretty much melted. They let us go at 2:30. That’s because with…

So rather than deleting it, or letting it float in the wasteland of “draft” status forever, I might as well just post it. January 16, 2005 @ 14:01 I got to Chicago on Friday night at about 9pm. Sydney had me park her car on the street outside of a friend’s house. There’s actually relatively “cheap” parking in the parking garage attached to Noell’s apartment where Sydney’s been living. Residents can buy a book of 10 parking tickets, each good for…
