What Chicago is talking about this week:
There's something a little incongruous to be experiencing the first hot and humid day of summer (kicking off a week before Memorial Day this year thanks to the weather gods) while celebrating the Blackhawks' advancement to the ICE hockey finals, but we'll take the good news on both of those fronts.
Caleb Weatherbee, the farmers' almanac weather prognisticator [a pseudonym to protect the men and women making calls about the weather through the years, apparently] has us in a hot and wet swath for Jun/Jul/Aug. [The silouette on the website does have him looking a little like Freddy Kreuger, I would say.] So today, the bedroom air conditioner was installed.
Oh ... and about those Blackhawks (note, since 1986, officially one word and not Black Hawks) -- might we have a chance to end what is the longest cup drought currently in the NHL? And, if so, will it be against the Flyers, well routed for when I was growing up? [With a name like Neidermyer, some people just expect me to live and breathe hockey -- although we've never proven that Scott or Rob are related.] We will find out in June (unless the ice melts in our heat wave)!
