First of all, happy “Star Trek Day” to those who celebrate. Second of all?
This is going to be a very busy week.
“Well”, you say, “What week is your life ISN'T busy, Jim?”, to which I would replay “You're absolutely right”. But in this case, it's extra busy, as I have a mere three days in which to do five days of work, because Thursday morning Loraine and I are blowing this Popsicle stand for our annual long weekend in Chicago.
THAT'S why this is going to be a very busy week.
As you know, we like to get away to our second favorite city in the US on a regular basis, and as we've found the past couple of years the second weekend in September seems to work really well. The weather (at least down there) is still nice (in fact, the forecast calls for 80 or so & sunny each day we're there), it's before "High School Bowl" starts shooting for the year, and and there's enough going on in the Windy City that we always seem to find a new experience or two which, considering the number of times we've been there, is no mean feat.
We've already packed the three and a half day schedule with waaaaay too many things we like to do, like go to our favorite Indian restaurant., go to our favorite Greek restaurant, go to our favorite Mexican restaurant, visiting our favorite markets, go to out favorite food truck fair, and, uhm, eat some more. But that's one of the great things about Chicago--you can DO all that stuff, plus look at amazing architecture and spend a little time in some very cool parks.
I've said this before, and I'll say it again. Going to Chicago is just like being in Marquette,. except it's (at least population wise) 4,000 times bigger.
So as the week (or at least the next two days ) wears on and these might be just a bit shorter than usual, please forgive me. Just know I've working hard to we can spend a few days getting away to Marquette South, where we'll eat.
And, if time allows, maybe do a few other things, as well.
