The No Pants Subway Event started in 2002 in NYC – natch – and spread from there.  Each year a group of riders get on the train sans-culottes and act like everyone else, which tends to freak out other people riding!  This year’s ride takes place on January 12th beginning at noon at the Loyala Station on the Red Line, traveling into the Loop.  Here’s the details.

I’ve gotten a couple of calls now from Blue Cross/Blue Shield about care management – one message I just ignored, but took this last one.  Apparently they want to offer me recuperation services and if I need to go into rehab – – seriously?  I’m at home getting ready to return to COD and the world of tap and yoga.  What do they think is wrong with me?  And before you answer, I did ask if these services included housekeeping, but the answer was no.

Nurse also said that it was good I had kids so they could help if I needed any.  I said my kids would step over my body to get to the refrigerator and then complain we were out of milk.  Isn’t that what most kids are like?
