[Rhodes22-list] Politics on the list.

Steve,

I'm going to Chicago for the weekend for the first time since I was a kid.
The forcast is for lows in the lower 20's, which I can't really even
imagine.  I know I don't have clothes warm enough for that kind of weather.
My local weather is supposed to be sunny and breezy with highs in the
60s-70s all weekend.  Perfect sailing weather.  But, I guess any
contribution that I make to the list based on my weekend will be in the
"bar" category rather than the "boat" category.  I anticipate an awfully
large amount of time in bars.

Ben

I'm getting bord, but I don't want to do any work
right here before Thanksgiving.  My desk is clear of
work.  I can't believe everyone is working out there. 
Anybody have any big plans for the Holiday?
Steve
