It’s the end of January already.  How does that happen?  OK, smart guy, I know that time moves forward and that’s technically how it happens, but how does it happen so darn fast?  That evil holiday Valentine’s Day is almost here. 

More snow is falling here in Chicago.  More cold weather.  This year the groundhog may not appear at all because his hole will be completely filled with snow.  What happens then?  The next Ice Age?

Anyway, good time to go check out a jazz or blues show at one of the jazz or blues clubs in and around the Chicago area.  In fact, it’s a great time and thanks to radio station WDCB for providing the information below.
