Posted on it as a thread in the VB forum. Sounds like maybe an overdue opportunity for her.

I looked for a thread quick but didn't see one. I can't remember who I was talking to this fall and we were mentioning it was just a matter of time.
 
Did some shovelling. More snow than I thought, 6 or 7 so far. Shovelled the walk for my mail carrier cause she's like a member of the neighborhood. Took my roof rake poles and beat the snow off of my columnar white pines. They look less like weeping pines now.

It's trash pickup day and they never showed up at all.
 
The "is Fennelly out of gas" thread has drawn less ire from the Fennelly cultists then I had expected. I find that to be very interesting.

When does the naming rights on the Sears Tower drop off. We did a boat tour and they said when but I forget.
 
We have enough snow, neighbor got his all wheel drive BMW stuck sideways in the alley. Slopes up after my house and that ice from the water main break is still in play. Anyway got him into his garage. Missed some of the ISU game but they needed some help. He's from England maybe not as experienced with stuck cars as us old midwesterners.

Pizza time.

Speaking of CG...has she been swamped at work, or is she "on vacation" from CF?

She has been traveling a lot so there has been plenty of opportunities for those "welcome home" evenings. Also should we get DH a cat or dog or something to keep him company?

yep, work and travel have limited my time. Traveling last week and trying to train my new person + get my own stuff done = getting very behind on the RTT thread :(
 
Joined this local Facebook group of city citizens last month. Joined to say something nice about how the city got my broken water main fixed in 12 hours in subzero weather. Got a comment at the time that it was nice to see something other than people complaining. Man, I see what she meant now. My newsfeed is getting flood by people pissing and moaning about snow plowing. What a bunch of big ******* babies. I expect most, if not all, the city streets will be plowed before work commute tomorrow. And it still snowing.
 
Threw the snow, still bored. Nothing on TV. FB is dead. CF is dead. RTT is deader. Maybe just go to bed but seems wrong, it's not even midnight.
 
Well another close but no cigar game for the men. They didn't quit just could never close the gap and get over the hump.

It was still 28 degrees out when I got home tonight not much snow on the ground but lots of wind, yard is still basically bare.
