Huh... I didn't know that the weather could be nice out here. The only times I've been to see my sister it was fucking freezing. I grew up in SoCal, so I don't know cold. I thought I was going to die, it was so cold. It's actually really nice out today (yesterday it was rain and lightning). My sister has introduced me to a good beer, brewed in Wisconsin by a family brewery; the Jacob Leinenkugel Brewing Company. It's good shit. Make a note Lare. I've never heard of this stuff, but it's good. Too good. I just can't stop drinking it. But you know what? I like it.

I made it to Chicago... I almost didn't make it, though. I flew stand by, which means I get a seat on the plane only if there is one available. Well, O'Hare Airport was shut down for a bit due to really bad thunderstorms, so all flights into Chicago got delayed. People were getting placed on different flights to make up for the delays and as a consequence all the flights were packed. I got the very last seat on my plane. I swear, if our ansestors had knows that they'd be strapping themselves into steel tubes and hurtling through the skys I'm sure they'd have stayed in the trees. Don't get me wrong, I love flying, but being packed like sardines into tiny seats, and in bad weather, can make for a long fucking day. And my sister does this for a living. Blech...
