Chicago Most Miserable

I heard on the radio this morning (as I was driving David to the train station through the fog and rain) that Chicago ranks 3rd in the ten "Most Miserable Cities in the US." Apparently, some people somewhere did a poll on misery, ranking attitudes towards the weather, taxes, and economy. And Chicago was 3. We're a miserable lot. Right up there with the poor saps from Detroit.

Yesterday was 61 and sunny. It was a brilliant day. This morning, as noted, is foggy and rainy. The temps are supposed to plummet to around 20, the wind will pick up, and eventually they are calling for snow.

When I lived in Istanbul, weather was much the same (thanks to the Bosphorus Strait cutting through the city, pulling weather from the Mediterranean and the Black Sea), and I would tell people so. But people never believed me.

News on the album: Celebrate good times!! Vid is ONE SONG (yes folks, ONE SONG) away from finishing his work. I.e. then all the songs will be with the guy who's doing the mixing, and David can focus his attention on album art, etc. Which means that the estimated release date for the CD is MARCH. Whoopee!

Hm. Big bug story still forthcoming... Need to dry my hair and keep getting ready for work.
