flea, you are singing the song of all my east coast/midwest parent friends. When are you all going to get out of school at the end of the year? July?
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

Well, on looking at the actual forecast, by noon it will be 0 and feeling like -15, so it makes sense to cancel in this high-poverty, high-bussing district. And overnight they're talking wind chills of -30, so we will almost certainly be closed tomorrow. We were scheduled to finish about June 1, but I heard they take the make-up days out of spring break before extending the school year here.

Way to go, Lee!
Give Me One Reason, the Tracy Chapman song? How is that gaslighting? The light up clothes I heard about on FB because I went to college with the woman whose company makes those (pretty much any outfit on TV that lights up is hers) and she mentioned it. I tend to like the idea of her stuff more than the actual outfits.
Sorry, flea, that's got to be tough to deal with.

Still bitter about that. Seriously.

Nada surf? I've never even heard of nada surf--should I have? Am I super out of it?
Didn't Nada Surf do the Buffy theme song, or am I misremembering my 90s alt-bands?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
-t, do you know the name of that company?

Not offhand, but I'll look her up and get back to you.

And with a current temp of -2 and wind chill of -22, police in a Chicago neighborhood are warning people to be on the lookout for a guy in a ski mask who tried to assault a woman walking her dog. Seriously?

Hah, no, the Pink song. The guy part sings "I'm sorry I don't understand where all of this is coming from, I thought that we were fine. Your head is running wild again my dear we still have everything and it's all in your mind. You've been having real bad dreams..." Etc.
I am awake because I could not stop coughing. Wtf, body? I was fine last night. Or at least, mostly so. Maybe just too dry in here.
