Today's Weather: Fresh

It's a brand new month, folks. And thank whatever you call holy for that. We're already playing with house money with the sun out and the temperature rising. Let's hope it keeps up as Skilling Central predicted and reach that projected high of 57 today. CTA seems to be cooperating, as well. No service alerts on the trains. For bikers the lakefront trail was clear from Ardmore to North Avenue as of fifteen minutes ago, although there's a film crew by the chess pavilion. And while many of you were sleeping, President Obama announced the death of Osama bin Laden. Let's get to it, folks. There's a lot to talk about.
