Did I mention the weather still sucks? Oh my Lord does it suck!
It reminds me of the winter of 2000/2001. It seemed like it snowed every single day. I believe it was a record amount of snowfall in our area. The cabin fever was intense. So intense, it finally made me jump back into martial arts training just so I had something to do to fight back the depression of a winter without end.
That's kind of what it's starting to feel like again, except that I'm already in jiu-jitsu, so I'm not sure exactly how I'm supposed to fight back the depressive haze of consecutive days of cold with no end in sight. Knitting?

Posted by: Ryan at February 7, 2007 12:46 PMAn Irish band called Gaelic Storm is playing over at the Civic Center Auditorium. There will lots ale being poured at the local pubs as their fans tend to take the term drunken Irishman to heart. We're staying at the Radisson so at least it's a short stagger back to the hotel through the skyway. Suggestions for a decent place to inbibe and eat prior to the show?
Posted by: Noodles at February 7, 2007 01:02 PMWell, let's see, if you want a seedier environment, there's CJ's and the North Star Bar. Kathy's Pub is a little less seedy, but kind of cramped. The newest bar, The Metro, is accessible via skyway, and looks pretty nice, although I've never imbibed there, myself.
Posted by: Ryan at February 7, 2007 01:26 PMMmmmmm - since we're meeting friends from Mason City, IA for the show seedy might be the route to go. Thanks for the tips!

Posted by: Noodles at February 7, 2007 04:14 PMIts very overcast and drizzly here today. And kind of chilly, I had to grab a jacket on my way out the door. And I had to drive the car because of the rain.
But they tell me we really need the rain so I shouldn't complain. Well, that and its the next Ice Age across the rest of the country.
The best way to overcome winter depression is to go somewhere nice and warm, like the inside of an oven.
