My former employer (WooHoo! I now am a Professor Emeritus) sent the basketball team to my hometown, Chicago, last night to play UIC in Credit Union Arena. The team won big, 94-64, and number one fan Joyce Ann listened on the radio. Our family has two Canisius graduates (Zann and Amy) and two enrollees (Maddy and Grace) so I guess you could say we're a Canisius family. Dewey and Charlie are currently attending the high school of the same name. The Jesuits have a hold of this family.
I had never heard of the arena. It's near Little Italy. Looks like a very neat area of the city.
Happy Thanksgiving!
A new family member.
Join me in welcoming Agnes to the Van Buren family. Another labradoodle. No surprise given how important a member of the family KatyBelle was. So far she's been pretty laid back but no telling how long that will last.
We're not ready for this.
Winter. We once looked forward to it. Skiing, you know. Well, that's long gone. Now we want to spend more of winter down south. Last year was one month in St. Augustine. This year another month there preceded by 2 weeks on Amelia Island. Snow in Chicago last week and snow forecast for us this week. Bah, humbug.

Daylight saving time?
So really, why do we need it? Seems to me it's better to get the hour of sun in the AM all year long. If you live closer to the equator, you don't need it and we in the north don't care much any more. Spring forward, fall back has seen its time.
Grace had another meet this past weekend and earned some recognition. There's a limit of four events for each swimmer, and she's always at the top. You go, girl!
