ChiTown was the name of my brother's band in college--they were a Chicago cover band (as in the band Chicago), and my brother was the leader, saxophonist, and music arranger for the group.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Is it CHEE-town or CHY-town?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
The second one.

Although it's usually more like "SHY-town."

Perzactly. (Although, I must admit, I thought that was the pronunciation she meant. My brain didn't even conceive of a hard "ch" sound at the beginning.)

Does that mean you are Shy-cat?

Oddly, the worst of it has now past but it was monsooning for a while and now that it's stopped the temperature has gone up to 71 degrees.

I was going to take off at 4:45, but I might wait until 5, since it looks like that thin line of thunderstorms is going to pass over right about now. (The east-facing windows are still a bit light, but the ones facing south are showing the dark dark clouds on their way east.)

The rain rain rain came down down down
in rushing rising rivlets
Till the river crept out of its bed
and crept right into Piglet's
