I wonder if Lake Michigan is frozen?

It's Christmas Eve eve! Whoo! Oddly enough, the temperatures around here are starting to go up as Christmas approaches. The high today is about44. We haven't seen the 40's since November. Righteous. Normally I would hope for a white Christmas, but not this year. Bring on the freakish warm front.

Turns out I'm heading to Chicago next week with my Mom to see my brother and his family before they head back to Loooosiana. I'm not sure what we're going to do while we're there, but I'm campaigning for a trip to the rock'n'roll McDonald's. Yes...I'm...doing it for...the kids...
