Okay, fellow #Chicago folks. Today's storm is a useful reminder that our older / disabled neighbors might need help clearing the snow from their sidewalks and stairs. You can either do it all on your own or sign up to join an organized team through the wonderful My Block, My Hood, My City.

Esencia in Lakeview is our favorite breakfast spot in #Chicago. The family and the food are excellent in equal measure. We make a point to visit every few months to support them.

I’m waiting for @quigley.house.gov to respond to the president‘s threat of violence.
Just so we’re ALL clear: the President of the United States made death threats toward sitting Democratic members of Congress.
But they’re always claiming Democrats are the dangerous ones, right?

I'm excited about attending a book club meeting for the first time since the start of the pandemic. The book that the group chose wasn't my style (gothic-y horror). That's fine. I got involved for the social value. It's important to avoid the #Chicago winter trap of staying at home all the time.
