Good morning crew,
I don't know if you have watched TV or listened to the radio
in the last 72 hours or so, but we've had a bit of snow here
in the Chicago area.
In fact, it turned out to be the third biggest snow storm in
Chicago's recorded history. Not too bad for February.
There were some very dramatic episodes. I'm sure you have
seen the pictures of all the cars stranded on Lake Shore
Drive and the six foot snow drifts making traffic impossible.
But for the most part, the city and surrounding areas bought
their milk and bread early and went home to wait it out.
That's what I did.
My big worry was the power going out, because then the furnace
won't work! And the power did go out for a bunch of people in
the city, but my neighborhood was lucky.
Other than that, Wednesday was just like having a snow day in
school. I stayed home, waited for the snow to stop and then
spent most of the afternoon shoveling out my truck.
I wish I had some exciting stories for you, but there is only
so much excitement you can have staring out of your window at
two feet of snow!
Laugh it up,
Joe

your bag of fiery hot Cheetos isn't such a good idea."

The banana loaf I was making was in the oven when my 16-year-
old came into the kitchen where the family had gathered.
"That bread smells about done don't you think, Mom?" he asked.
I told him I had set the timer and it was fine.
A little later he repeated his suggestion. "Mom, I really
think that loaf is done. Maybe you should check it."
Always quick to come to my defence, my 13-year-old son said,
"Eddie, Mom's been burning that banana bread for 20 years
now. I think she knows when to take it out."

On my way to a picnic, I stopped at a fast-food place to
order a quart of potato salad. "We don't sell it by the
quart," the clerk snapped. "Okay, then give me two pints,
please," I replied.
I'm proud to say I held my tongue when she asked, "Do you
want it in one container?"
