come one, come all.

Shortly I will be heading out to the Hopleaf to be the less male opening act for Neal Pollack. Also in the non-male opening act category is Leigh Anne Wilson, who I don't know all that much about but who seems like a fun woman to hang out with. Maybe we'll band together to pants Neal or shortsheet his bed or something. Who's in?
Wandered about the city all day. Went to the Art Institute, which was fabulous and beats the Met all to heck, and to Crate and Barrel, which is where I want to be buried. Feet hurt. But I have made two important discoveries: 1) this city is much kinder and gentler than NYC and 2) no matter where you are, there is a Bennigan's. I have no idea why this is. Apparently, Chicagoans loves their "food with attitude."
Oh, and also, they aren't kidding about the "windy" thing. It's one thing to know that intellectually. It's another to feel it freezing your ears off.
I was just in Chicago a couple weeks ago. Try lunch at the Atwood Cafe. Fabulous location and fabulous food.
And thanks to pointing out Thordora's PPD contest. Just writing about my experience has helped me to move on from it, finally.
BTW, I'll be driving Rt 88 tomorrow in the bitter cold. I'll wave on the way by (destination Ithaca).
