hi.

how are you?

i hope all is well in your collective worlds. lauren-land has been busy with thanksgiving travels, teaching the children, seeing plays, watching movies, and rehearsing for a new show ("blithe spirit" at the gift!).

its been as cold as hell in our fair city of chicago. actually today was the first day that it's been over 25ish degrees. it was a whopping 34 degrees! hurrah! and the snow that fell over a week or so ago is still frozen, all cracked and glass-like on the ground. on some sidewalks, you can kind of ice skate. i suppose those people must feel ok with the idea of an elderly person slipping and breaking all kinds of hips on their icy deathwalks. when i start to feel like i can't believe that it is ONLY DECEMBER and REAL winter hasn't even started yet, i think of this:










luckily our little apartment is nice and cozy, radiators radiating and cats curled up on couches. b is about to cut a friend's hair. we have a barbershop in our kitchen. tonight we will see our dear friend's show and have a little party time.

stay warm.

yes, winter is here (though I guess it's technically still fall...) and it's cold. stay warm and walk carefully. young people can probably break hips, too. :)
