My mom likes it when I post.
Interesting tidbits about life in Chicago:
1. I stopped at a red light the other day (generally I find that’s a good idea) and someone was walking between the stopped cars hawking their wares. However, instead of the usual newspapers, this person was selling twelve-packs of tube socks. When was the last time you were sitting at a stop light and really needed twelve pairs of tube socks?
2. My students think I dye my hair. I’ve told them that I don’t. Twice.
3. The aforementioned kiddos have been extra chatty recently. Now they are sitting in rows. I hate rows.
4. The weather has been wacko here. Freezing rain, snow, rain, more snow. That would be fun, except it isn’t pretty anymore, and we don’t get snow days.
I think that’s it. I’ll let you know about more weird Chicago type things as they come to me.

Tube socks at a stoplight. Hmm, maybe we could write a song about that!

You know, I was at a stoplight just the other day thinking I could really use some tube socks.
Well, not really, especially since I don’t own a car. But I like the idea!

You should have told the guy that you were in the market for tube socks, but only needed seven pairs.
