winter weapon

This weekend was a reminder why it's good to emerge from my pseudo-hermitage every now and again...primarily: SUN!, Make Believe/Singer show at Subterranean, dancing at AV-aerie, Mom and Brian in town, brunch at Tweet, Lincoln Park Conservatory (Orchid Room!), giraffes with watercolor spots and a pygmy hippo at the zoo, karaoke at Sidekicks, fondue and Oscars party. It was hard to go back to work today. Oh, weak days...

Until the ground thaws for real, though: we have to stick together, Chicago.
