Yo! Yo! Yo!

I am back, bitches! It appears another winter weather system, read snow and freezing rain, is headed our way. This is all that the news weathermen have been talking about. "Snowageddon" is what they are saying.

Unfortunately, it may come to pass. Fancy that, a snowstorm in mid to late December in Toronto. Who ever heard of such a thing? Come on people, it is the fucking weather. Deal with it! The only way to deal with it is be prepared and get ready for some shoveling. I do feel bad for anybody who is supposed to fly out of here tomorrow, their plans may be screwed.

I had that happen to me once back in 1990. I was supposed to fly out in the early afternoon on a Thursday in February to Chicago. I got a call from my buddy the night before saying there may be an issue as Chicago got hit with a snowstorm and it was headed to Toronto. It did hit and I spent the day having my flight pushed back and hanging around. The flight was eventually canceled and I got out on delayed flight Friday afternoon.

This did lead to weekend of heavy drinking and frivolity. All I can say is that El Jardin makes awesome fishbowl sized Margaritas. Tony Bennett may have left his heart in San Francisco, but the Well Adjusted Madman left his shrimp fajitas on Belmont Avenue in Chicago. The funniest part is that they had the same texture coming up as they did going down.

After that I was fine and ready to continue the party. The worst part is that because I did not get out on the Thursday, I missed the opportunity to see the Blackhawks play in the old Chicago Stadium against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

That is why you just deal with the weather as you do not control it.

Ciao!
