The charm of an old house is quickly lost on weekends like this past one where the bitterly cold wind was coming through every crack around my old windows, and pretty much straight through the thin glass panes. Even that classy plastic covering or storm windows wouldn’t hold out the cold this weekend. I am officially done with winter and ready for spring again! Having to brave the cold to return to work after two half-weeks sure doesn’t make it any easier. Hopefully your commute is warmer than mine. And if you are like some people I know, who get to work from home in their PJs, please stop rubbing it in!
- City Desk and JDLand attended the DDOT ceremony to kick off construction on the 11th Street Bridge. High winds prevented the actual construction kick off, but bloggers were treated to a great view of the city and an explanation of the plan. Sadly, that was one of the only two days I worked last week, so I missed the entire event.
