Day 38


30 degrees, extremely windy, snow flurries, and just flat out cold. That is the state of Chicago here on November 16th of 2005. Today is the first REAL winter day here. We've been lucky for a while, but Winter is now upon us. When I took Casey around the block for a walk this morning, I couldn't wait to get back inside. My feet have been perpetually cold all day. Again, days like today I wish I had a house and a yard where I could just open my backdoor and let Casey go free and do what she has to do in the backyard. It is a chore to take her out. We live in a condo building on the 4th floor. So everytime I take her out, its put her leash on, put my jacket on, walk down the hall, get in the elevator and take it down, go outside and walk around the entire block. Casey loves talking her sweet ass time, especially when its cold for some reason. I can hear my mother now "this is exactly why I would never in a million years have a dog."

Side Notes - Ok, I am now writing this paragraph just minutes after I came in from walking Casey. Let me just say this ITS FREEZING. The wind is so strong out there. I am dreading the next time I have to set foot outside later. Only 37 days until we leave for Arizona......


I was real disappointed with the season finale of Laguna Beach Monday night. Literally nothing happened. Talk about old bits, watching 30 minutes of people saying phony goodbyes to each other. Lame.....

My Cleveland Cavaliers are off to a 5-2 start and look real good. Since I watched the Tribe essentially every day during the season and I always get the College Basketball package, I do not get the NBA package. I have to draw the line somewhere. The Cavs are on national TV quite a bit, so I watch those games. Although, somehow I get the feeling that I am missing the opportunity to watch the second coming of Michael Jordan; a fact that Ags has pointed out to me on several occasions. But NBA basketball is pretty boring to me. College Basketball is my sport and KU's season starts Friday night. I'll be split screening with the Cavs/Magic game on ESPN......

I'm at a loss today. Not much else to say. The cold has frozen my thought process.....
