When I was planning my Christmas trip, I’d had this hopeful idea that I could meet up with Chicago folks for lunch during my layover there. Considering the weather and the seasonal delays in Amtrak service, I’m going to put the kibosh on that idea. Sorry. If I’m lucky I’ll have time to walk around the city a little and maybe even see the library, but that seems so iffy that I’d hate to make any kind of plan for it.

Maybe another time.
