Sick of all the talk about how sick we are of the weather? Good, because there’s only one story in our morning round-up that relates to this Arctic ickiness.
- Talk about hopeful news. Not. Scientists say that our Great Lakes – frozen like they haven’t been since the 1990s – may be “bottling” the cold for spring. Which means winter might never end??
- Are you missing Mahal? That’s the Milwaukee County Zoo orangutan that died in 2012. Mahal was so popular at the zoo that he inspired a Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel series and a book about his life. Turns out his death is even more interesting.
- In dining news – my favorite kind of news – here is a photo gallery of images from New York City chef David Bouley’s recent tribute dinner to the late Chicago Charlie Trotter.
- Actor Seth Rogen apparently knows a thing or two about Alzheimer’s disease. At least he trekked to the nation’s Capitol to speak about Alzheimer’s to a room full of senators. Only there wasn’t a roomful of senators. Only a couple of legislators showed up. And Rogen was a ’lil perturbed about it.
- Take your bag, baby stroller and unregistered-runner-self and get outta here! So say officials with the Boston Marathon. Yeah, this is serious stuff.
