Under A Winter Sky
I was having a drink with a friend this evening when we discovered that February is going to be incredibly boring. The three things of note going on thusfar, are happening in three consecutive days in the middle of the month. That doesn't leave a lot to take my mind off of the blustery Chicago winter (and the ridiculously long wait until Austin). Let's face it, I love this city but Februarys are never our finest moment. I get sick of the winter sky and begin to yearn a bit of sunshine and excitement.

When things get slow around here, I take to the air. In the past two months I've been to New York, Detroit, St. Louis and Las Vegas. My goal for February is to NOT book a weekend away. Fun can be had here, even if one-by-one my friends seem to keep moving to distant cities or foreign countries. I just need to be as steadfast about finding fun around here as I am at finding good airfare when I get the itch to leave town. I suppose I would call this a resolution if I believed in such things...
