So, the snowman died

Had a good time

So, now that we grouped together again, I really see how much we got to know each other over the years. Good people. Good times. We'll have to keep eatin' and playin' for some more good years.

Our first snowman of the season...

...complete with a carrot nose and raisin eyes and buttons.

our backyard

I feel good

I just got out of the shower (still steaming),
the kids are watching their second Barbie movie,
I ate Honey Bunches of Oats for breakfast,
I read two chapters of "Sex God" - Rob Bell (learned: you don't love somebody because they're beautiful, you make somebody beautiful by loving them),
I contemplated a dream I had (something about me being one of the last survivors of a war and being chased down by the enemy army),
and David will be arriving any minute from the Amtrak.
Not a bad morning.

My weekend in Chicago

Union station

Sunset cruise on a tall ship at navy pier

Lots of subway

David's workplace!
