We've hit that point now in the Chicago winter where I'm tired of all the grey and brown. Normally at this point of the year I'd be booking myself on the first flight to a coast, any coast. For the time being though, I've decided to tough it out. It would be a lot easier to deal with if my world looked like this picture. Norway anyone?
I tried to have a conversation the other day with a co-worker about how drab and grey the Chicago winter's are and I got a bit of a dull stare. He somehow took offense when I insinuated that brown and grey is not the ideal... that perhaps the Scandinavians have a good thing going with colorful architecture. It's amazing what a bit of paint can do to create a sunny disposition. Or maybe they just fake it better?
