Sounds like an interesting night K. At least no one started shooting. Boys will be boys.
Possible thunderstorms here today but right now it's sunny and warm. Hopefully it stays like that for you K. My son in Oklahoma was ok. The tornadoes were south of him. He's taking his family to the zoo today.
I really miss Jon. Wish he'd pop in to at least say hello.

Boys will be boys indeed. I just wish it didn't involve waking me up in the middle of the night to deal with their antics.

We got a few storms yesterday but nothing too bad. Now it's snowing, and actually sticking to the ground. I can't wait for summer.

+1 for Canadians, I've been here awhile, big name in the Chat.

Winnipeg, MB for anyone who is interested lol.

I wish I could meet some people from here who lived in my city, THAT would be a coffee hang-out for sure!

I can't believe that Winnterpeg has been super nice lately, only a couple days here and there that were cold. Anyone else who has not heard, we are becoming a "big city" we've got our Jets back, we have the Museum of Human Rights being built, looking pretty cool so far. Not to mention our new university building built solely for the arts and other secondary schools for environment... getting a monorail... getting an NFL sized stadium... For sure were getting back on the map!

GO JETS!

GO BOMBERS!

Hi All. Really hot today in NYC. Hard to believe that it's snowing anywhere in the US at this point. Glad to hear that your son is ok Susie - tornadoes are VERY scary!! They're so unpredictable, ie. as to which direction they will move. Having experienced quite a few growing up in FL, I am thankful that they aren't common in NY.

I've seen a couple people from Winnipeg here. I'm sure you'll be seeing them soon. Sorry it's snowing K. It hit 90 here today but they say Wednesday it will go back to the upper 50s lower 60s range. I'm glad we don't get tornadoes around here too Lynn. Some of the pictures he sends me are scary. I know he has good sense but I still worry when I hear things like that. He always lets me know he's OK though.

C3PO! Whassap?! Welcome to the madness. I'm trying to get a trip together to the Peg for early-ish May to see Dave Foley at the Rumours club.

[~TheBigK~]

It hit 90 Sus?! Dang, it's only April haha. We're not snowy anymore just rainy and cold.

Oh and welcome to the thread G3N0M3.

I'm from Winnipeg! We are becoming a"Big City" . Too bad the Jets didn't make the playoffs this year. Oh well always next year!

Crazy, crazy weather. It was just 91F here on Monday. Thank goodness I'm in eastern PA. We already had one thunderstorm tonight and it looks like more to come.

[~TheBigK~]

Jeez, that is crazy, stay safe Sus. The weather's been pretty average here, just in the lower 50's for about a week now.

Hope everyone had a good weekend! My trip to Chicago is only about 11 days away, I'm really excited.

[susieice]

Been raining since I got up this morning. Not hard, just a steady rain all afternoon and no wind so far. Supposed to get worse later tonight. We really need the rain. Nice to be off and able to watch TV and read. Always makes me sleepy.
Your trip sounds like fun K. Looking forward to hearing about it.

Where oh where is Jon? I just know he's doing well with his studying. He isn't letting anything distract him for sure.

[susieice]

It's much windier and raining harder now. I'm gonna curl into bed with Michael Crichton's "Timeline" and get a decent night's sleep I hope. As long as it doesn't start thundering like crazy, I'll be good to go. Work tomorrow. Have a good week everybody.

Happy Monday!

It's cool and overcast here today.  Yesterday, it rained almost all day - probably much like what you had Susie. Last night was very windy - supposedly wind gusts up to 45 mph.  My dog, who usually doesn't mind going out in the rain, did not enjoy her walk last night.  In fact, it was pretty much a run to get back inside!

Since it was such a crappy day, I watched three movies: In the Land of Blood & Honey (Angelina Jolie's movie) which was good but depressing; Jesus Henry Christ which was pretty funny and lastly, Sarah's Key, which was also depressing but very good.  I've been wanting to see the two depressing movies for a while, but I have to be in the proper frame of mind to watch downers like that.  Thank goodness, we had a beautiful day here on Saturday and I spent the day planting trees in the projects. I do this every year for Earth Day and it always makes me feel good.

K, I think you will like Chicago.  It's one of my favorite cities in the US.  If you've never been there, do yourself a favor and take the architecture boat tour. The bike tour is also fun and don't forget to go to the Navy Pier for drinks.   Hopefully, the weather will be nice for your stay. The Field Museum (they have a great Egyptian exhibit - I like it better than the one at The Metropolitan here in NYC) and The Art Institute are also wonderful.  Have fun!

Last, but not least, my latest obsession is the baby hawks that have hatched in Washington Sq. Park here in NYC.  The nest just happens to be on the window ledge of the president of NYU, so they set up a camera. They're only a week old right now and it has been amazing to see how quickly they've grown and changed in such a short amount of time.  Check it out:

Rain stopped Monday morning, but it's still overcast and cool on Wednesday. Supposed to go to a high of 50 on Saturday and Sunday. I want the sun back. It's colder now than it was in February.

[JayMark]

Good everyone!

Today here, the weather is.

We are quite having and I am.

So I wish you.

See.
