COMMENTS
Several wholly unrelated comments:
- Several adventures are in the works. If you want to explore Armour Square with me this evening email me at connor at afterdusk.org. If you want to get together in Hyde Park for a Lenten meal tomorrow, email me at the same address.
- Yesterday, in my post about abortion, I mixed up pro-Choice and pro-Life, which would have let to some very unusual statements. It's fixed now. It's strange, but I make that error often in such conversations. Wonder if it means anything...
- News of the Day is not wholly encompassing... it's based what jumps out at me first, with a mind for full variation between the local and the global. I don't really think that the Flint sesquecentennial is a bigger deal than the Prime Minister of Lebanon's assassination or the impending demise of the NHL.
- On that subject, Word of the Day typically comes from a search engine, Picture of the Day and Question of the Day are defined by flashes of inspiration. Country/State/Neighborhood of the Day alternate with a mind for variation, but within their own categories are randomly determined.
- We seem to have settled into a semicloudy pseudoWinter; the highs each day are above freezing and the lows are below... behavior I'd rather postpone 'til March, but what can you do... in Chicago?

Last night, the elevator broke in my building between the 7th and 8th floors. Sam's friend Bill was in it at the time. We tried several things to get him out, banged on the door of our building's manager, and ultimately had to call the fire department to get him out. They arrived in a fire truck and blocked off Kenmore with sirens flashing. They stomped in wearing coats and carrying axes, and locked down the elevators, opened the door, and pulled Bill out above a five-foot opening into the empty shaft. It was sweeeeeeet!
So if you come over to visit, watch the elevator.
