Ugh, this has been a long day. Every Monday is a long day now. If I don't get time to blog over my lunch break, I pretty much have no time for a substantial blog post at all. I know, faithful reader, you may be disappointed in another brief post. It's past ten. Way past ten.
And then there is Sandy the hurricane. Actually she has nothing to do with the the brevity of this post, but I was surprised to find that she was having a marked effect upon Chicago. At work we got an email alert from our building manager that said there would be gale force winds up to 40-50 tonight and tomorrow. And there was an increased chance of flooding downtown due to waves reaching up to 33 feet on Lake Michigan. 33 feet! I guess there were even surfers catching the waves. I really don't know a better way to write that sentence. Surfers riding the waves? Surfers catching some hang time? I don't know. I feel so old sometimes.
They say that all water activity is banned, but that didn't stop the surfers. Then again, would we be able to accurately describe how high the waves were without the surfers? Just think, now we can say, dude, the waves were so high there were surfers riding the waves.
Please pray for those in the wake of Sandy.
