It’s been hovering in the single digits around here the past few days. It’s 15 degrees in downtown Chicago as I write this.
A lot of people are complaining, but once again Roger the Security Guard came up with words of wisdom: “It’s Chicago. It’s January. What do people expect? You just gotta go with it.”
Makes sense to me.
In the past couple of days, I’ve seen four guys from the ‘old days:’ Chuck, Jim, Michael, and Tim. Chuck is still consulting (no surprise), Jim’s getting married next summer (he found The One), Michael’s company just went public and they cut his stock options in a 3-to-2 reverse split (bummer), and Tim is still on an even keel, trying to teach his 16-year-old son that it might be a good idea for him to get a job if he wants to use the car. In all, it seems we remain a pretty well-adjusted group. Or we’re really fooling ourselves.
I’m gonna get the lowdown on the knifemaking world tonight with my pal Journeyman Smith Bob.

Just finished reading “The Man Who Ate The 747.” It sort of turned into “It’s A Wonderful Life” at one point, but it was a really nice and sweet love story. Next up: whatever moves me when I make it downstairs to Barbara’s Bestsellers.
