You know, normally I'm not one to complain about winter weather. I like cold and rain and snow, because I am a backwards, strange man.

But it is so dry in Chicago right now that for the first time in my life I'm considering anti-static spray. I have now literally, twice, stood up from my chair at work and generated so much static electricity that the in-ear headphone I wear in my left ear has SHOCKED MY EARDRUM.

You know what is unpleasant? SHOCKING YOUR OWN EARDRUM.

I gotta learn to take my headphone out before moving.

That's a good time to visit! No tourists, but the weather's usually at least beginning to warm by then :)

I will first be downtown in the Swissotel, and then in an area called Roger Square. Is that an OK neighbourhood?

Swissotel is in a fine neighborhood, near a lot of cool downtown stuff. I don't know Roger Square -- do you mean Rogers Park? Or possibly Logan Square? (Both are fun!)

Rogers Park! That must be it. Definitely something with Roger in it.
