Chicago has had more than its share of national news datelines lately, thanks to Barack Obama, Rod Blagojevich, and Arne Duncan. But I won’t be covering any of that. For the next few days, I’ll be taking a break from the news and spending time with my family and friends while trying to stay warm in this beautiful, snowy tundra where I grew up.
It was a balmy 30 degrees today — it “warmed up to freezing,” as my dad put it — but that won’t last for long!
I hope you all have a wonderful holiday.

I just read something interesting about Chicago:
http://www.upi.com/Top_News/2008/12/26/Chicago_tabbed_as_most_segregated_by_race/UPI-66921230316177/
It is reportedly the most racially segregated city in these United States, probably a lot different than growing up in a more segregated place like Oakland.
Merry Christmas & New Years Katy.

How about giving us the lowdown on how to start a branch of the Caucus of Rank and File teachers here in Oakland?
