1:22 PM >> Chicago the Blog 1

We got to chicago later yesterday than planned because we missed our flight because M threw her back out putting on a sweater in the morning and we had to go to the emergency room. (Yes we got muscle relaxers.) But it worked out OK and it is great here--25 degrees and sunny and so crisp. Everything here is revolving doors and heavy jackets with furry hoods and expensive sandwiches ($5 at the gorcery store), but I got to use a foreign self-check-out so that is worth the sandwich surcharge.

Today we see the aquarium to do HR recon for M and tonight we get deep dish pizza to do BM recon for me.

Last night we saw an improv show where they kept using the term "F" instead of f*ck, and I had never realized that was such a cultural phenomenon; I always thought it was just me and my friends. I guess I am not as snobbishly cool as I had always pictured myself.

There is a billboard across the street that has our dog Scrappy on it. When do we get royalties?

We are staying on the 19th floor, if you get my drift.
