Yes folks, despite our best efforts to keep old man winter at bay with the blooming of tulips, the blossoming of pear and dogwoods trees and the wearing of shorts to expose our sun-fearing legs, the Old Man has come to pay another last season vist and dumped about an inch of snow on GR! Can you believe it! It is only 35 degrees out, even though last week it was 80, and has been above 65 for almost 3 weeks. It is funny to me that thises things happen up here. Of course the general populus is aghast about ti, but expected it nonetheless. Moving on...
Layne's family and I took the Amtrak to Chicago yesterday morning. We got some cheesecake to go at the Cheesecake Factory in the bottom of the John Hancock building, then ate a quick bute of lunch at a local diner beofre heading to see "Les Miserables!" It was FANTASTIC! I have heard the songs from it, at least some of them, but it was a powerful and spectacular show. We did get in trouble by Helga, the evil ticket taker lady who kept yelling at us for different reasons ("don't eat food in theater!", "no pictures in theater!", "nothing on ledge!", "isee the cell phone. I SEE!!!"). But you have to realize a few things. (1) They sell candy and water inside the theater. What is a little cheesecake at intermission? :) (2) We were trying to take a picture of US, before the show started, and did so because of the hundreds of John Does in our vicinity doing the SAME thing! (3) Monkey see monkey do. I love monkeys.
Anyway, we took the train back to MI last night and got in about 1245am. Today will be a lazy day...I usually like to be busy on Sundays, but not today. With no half-day off this last week, I am in need of some R&R. Gonns have some breakfast now....
Do you hear the people sing?

I like monkeys too. I've always wanted to see a little monkey dressed up like a cowboy riding a rabbit, dog, cat or other small animal. The monkey must be wearing a cowboy hat with chaps, otherwise it won't work.
