weird weather again

The weather is doing it's usual strange Illinois thing, a foot of snow, single digit temperatures, and now up into the fifties. I did get to go skiing sunday, just to the local hill (an hour and a little north), but I had planned on taking friday off and going up to Chestnut Mountain. I'm glad I didn't take the day off, it's going to be way too warm, the snow will wet and mushy. I'm kind of dissapointed, but it's too far to drive for those conditions. Hopefully next week sometime (maybe thursday).
Great little get together last night before drum practice, mostly for Ellen's friend Richard, visiting from New Mexico. Hopefully he'll make it back this way in the not too distant future.
