Just dropping in (then back out) to say that my wife and I arrived in Chicago yesterday.

We barely beat the blizzard (it started snowing when we left home), and we were at the leading edge of sleet in North Platte. We couldn’t go home now if we tried (still coming down hard in central Nebraska).

My sister and cousin are here, and we’re working on helping my mother pack her things.

She is still insisting she’s going to stay in Chicago on her limited income, but so far no dice on finding an apartment within her means.
