Yet Another Winter update

Schools in Michigan City got shut down 2 hours early. My wife was smart enough to wait 45 minutes to leave the school so that all of the teenager would be safely at home or in ditches before she left. It is mostly icy stuff down there, whereas in downtown Chicago it has been snowing pretty hard all day long. It has also been blowing pretty well so far.

Friday will be the day that our kitten turns into a cat in a sense. Krash goes in Friday for a snip and a clip. He is getting fixed and front declawed, and maybe just in time. He decided the other day that Ang wasn't paying enough attention to him, so he decided to jump on her back as she walked by. I guess that is one way to do it.

We are also sitting a little more than a week from Soxfest. The Sox are still active in the rumor mill with them being connected to Ex-Twins Catcher AJ Pierzinski, Japanese 2B Iguchi, and Ex-Giants closer Rob Nen. AJ would be a huge shot in the arm for the Sox at their weakest position IMO. The other two would provide huge depth for the team in 2005. I am excited about the fest as usual, and am looking forward to a good time with friends old and new.
