Don't want to go

I'm leaving Sunny California and heading to Chicago for the next 8 days. My littler sister is graduating from college and the entire family is getting together for the graduation as well as for Thanksgiving. First time we'll all be together since 4 years ago.

 

It's odd, but I don't really want to go.

 

I just checked the weather in Chitown and it said it was 36 degrees, but feels like 26 :blink: .

 

26? Right now it's 78 degrees here in Central California. I'm sitting here in shorts, but tomorrow I'm going to have layers of clothes. I planned on bringing my leather jacket, but I think a parka might be more appropriate (which I don't have).

 

I wonder if a 'Happy Graduation' email will suffice instead of my presence?

 

Okay, that won't go over, so I have no choice but to get on the plane and go.

 

Meh, at least I'll be able to visit with some old friends.

If I'd somehow experienced the Boston winters *before* choosing my college, I think I'd be getting my degree in a much different and much sunnier place (i.e. freaking Palo Alto). Anyhow, I'm sure the warmth and joy of a family reunion will banish the frost, no? :)

Welcome to weather in Illinois! The only thing blocking the cold wind is the occassional stray cow!

 

Mark is right though. Chicago is a great city. Take in the museums if you can - they're great!

I don't really have anything to add, I just wanted to see that phrase "Mark is right" one more time in print. :P

Warmth & Joy :lol: . You don't know my family too well. Thanks for the laugh.

 

Let's see, the guy sitting next to me on the plane blew his nose so much that he had a mountain of clumped up tissue paper next to me.

 

My young niece has a cold and has been hacking up a lung for the last 24 hours.

 

I had dinner with one of my best friends and her spouse last night, and he was coughing and had a runny nose.

 

Odds of Vic getting sick? 3 to 1 (and I've only been here 1 day and 1/2.

I grew up in Illinois and went to college in Urbana/Champaign, so the cold weather and such isn't new to me. I was just hoping I'd only be visiting/returning in May or September :D .

 

Welcome to GA Greg!

Yeah...it's not like that's going to happen too often. :P

 

Try to have a nice visit, Vic. And start taking a lot of zinc and vitamin C.
