Here is the partial post (not parcel post) that I started and never finished on Feb. 26th......
Sunrise February 25th. Dumpling Clouds and a bird in flight.

On the sunny Sunday morning that ushered in the last week of February 2009 I got up just like it was a work day, this was not a day that the snooze button would be employed. After the mornings essentials, I dressed. Thermal long-johns, cargo pants, a tee shirt ,over-shirt and wool socks. I loaded up camera gear, doffed sunglasses and placed cameras and batteries on my belt. All of that out of the way I sat in front of the computers I now sit in front of again. At my left shoulder the G4 Titanium laptop which I use to do my posts, house my massive music collection (and off of, on two external hard drives) and iPhoto and Photoshop imaging libraries and programs. At my right shoulder my (second) 1st gen iMac with Facebook as it's home-page, shared library for music (from Jenni's second gen iMac, the laptop and it's own sparse iTunes library), internet connection and wireless router hub. Slightly off center above those two computers the LCD TV/computer monitor fed additional images and screen savers from the laptop. With this menagerie I post my Things are Indeed Looking Up post, while I wait for the clock to tell me it's time to head downtown to meet up with the Chicago Auto Show bound Chatterboxers.
The drive in on I-70 westbound from Cumberland was fast and uneventful. The sky was clear and blue and for the last 5 miles of the inbound run I was able to watch helicopters placing large house-sized HVAC boxes on top of the AUL Tower. I arrived on Mass ave. without unpleasant incident, stopped at the Fireman's CU money machine for some cash. With a bit of time to kill I stopped in at the Starbucks for Java and waited fro David Andrichik to arrive in the Chariot that would wisk us away to the Windy City.
