Reporting from Chicago, I’m David Murray

I’m three times as excited about this blizzard as my seven-year-old daughter. Dumb kid.

More to come—if we don’t succumb.

    Well, I did hear this morning that Chicago schools closed for the “FIRST TIME IN MORE THAN TWELVE YEARS!!!” so I guess that means it really is bad there.
    We were supposed to get whalloped too, but, for Canada it was more like, “meh, it snowed overnight. The plows are out. Whatev.”
    It looks like you enjoyed yourself making this video however, and really, THAT makes it all worthwhile, no??
    😉

    “Blizzard Blaze” – pretty funny. will they carry their hoses on the snowmobiles too? Hope to see some daytime footage from today – it’s hard to picture sitting here in 60 degrees sunny California.

    I’m trying to figure out which is worse: your Canadian accent or your Chicago accent. Did you think it was weird that you didn’t sound like anyone who was talking on the TV?
    Funny videos, though. I think the shots of Charlie pooping could be your Hitchcock signature. They should appear in every film, and people will start to look for them.

    Re. my caricatures of Canadian and Chicago accents. For your information, they’re very carefully developed, and they are both incredibly well done, even by my own high standards. To those who cannot appreciate them, I say, I’m sorry. You are missing out on a truly rich source of humor and cultural insight. That I love you makes me only more sorry for your loss.

    Yeah, it’s cold here too, David. And we got some snow. But tomorrow, it’ll be 50 in Denver. And sunny.
