Dear Weather

Please to be letting me get to Chicago tomorrow, and back from Chicago Weds night?

What's that, you say? You're crazy, you say? Who goes to Chicago in January, you say?

Well, they schedule workshops year-round at this place, and this is when they wanted me, and they have to schedule _somebody_ in January.
