It’s taking a lot of effort to not complain about last week’s weather right now, but I know most of you were in the same ice-covered boat to hell that I was. If you weren’t, well, that’s too bad, because you missed a lot of great opportunities, like figuring out which of your jeans is big enough to fit leggings underneath. Or seeing how slowly you can approach a stop sign without actually stopping so you don’t get stuck. Or doodling in the thin layer of ice that formed inside your bedroom window.

So yeah. Lots of fun over here in the Polar Vortex. Definitely nothing to complain about.

There’s a new tiki bar in town and I’ve already been twice this month. It is themed to the max, with fake thunderstorms and everything. You might be thinking, “why would you have a tiki bar in Indianapolis?” But if anyone deserves to have giant tropical drinks in January, it’s Midwesterners. Sure, Canada’s even colder, but they have their universal health care and mentally balanced leader to keep them warm.

So cheers to my fellow Sweater Soldiers holding it down in Indiana and beyond. This mai tai’s for you.
