Following Tom's trusty lead, Evar has offered to gather the faithful for a day or two of cross-country skiing on a weekend in January or February.  If you are interested, ask him to add your name and number to the contact list.  He will let you know when and where the snow conditions are right or where it has snowed enough.  Sounds as unpredictable as a Chicago winter. . .  But you're sure to have a great time!

Choose one of your favorites:  Waterford, Tupperware, or Pyrex.  Fill it with something good to eat, choose a favorite beverage, and get ready to show it off for your friends at the

"No Strings Attached:  The Re-Education of Ms. Braxton" Super BOWL Party 2001

Bundle up, get out of the house, and join us for this annual WCCC extravaganza. Lance Bass, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick and Justin Timberlake--all on a 60-inch screen. Memories of Ms. Braxton in 2000?  Maybe they can teach her something about true class.

Directions: Take the Kennedy north to the Edens.  Exit at Willow Road West. Go 3-4 miles (you will pass the big Super Target and go under train tracks. Stop here if you need to fill your bowl to the rim or forgot your beverage) to Greenwood (an intersection with stoplights).  Turn left onto Greenwood then turn left onto Mary Kay, then another left onto Sandy Lane -  Their house is the second on the left (3220 Sandy Lane). What's left?   Call 847.559.9133 if you get lost.

Oh, and for the third year in a row, there will be a football game on in the other room - if anyone is interested.

For more info please contact John Carlsen at [email protected].

Get out of the house and join our friends for a 15-mile run, a 3-mile walk, or something in between. The group gathers back at the Totem Pole before heading to a neighborhood place for breakfast on Saturdays and dinner on Tuesdays. This is a great way to keep those calves and thighs toned during the winter months.

What better way to spend Sunday afternoons than with good company, good drink (vodka lemonades recommended) and delicious (FREE!) food... remember to thank owner Michelle Fire for supporting the WCCC.
