As I was brainstorming things to do that could help shake up the doldrums, I remembered that way back, when I was in college out in Boulder, some of my roommates and I implemented a yearly BBQ.. on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. It brought back such fond memories that I decided to resurrect this idea in my here and now.
So, I invited people over and we fired up the grill out back, threw out a blanket on the living room rug and had ourselves a veritable picnic in January. Then, as a little extra reminder of Spring, I got a few flowers to put around the room:
It was really fun.. We'll have to do this more often!

Heck yes! It's the best thing for Chicago Januaries :)
I'm sad I missed it. Maybe next time!
Zac - no worries; family trumps all! :)
We'll be sure to keep you guys in the loop for future events for sure!
