12:56 AM >> Chicago the Blog 3

Yesterday was the day I was hung over. This is related to going out and drinking heavily until 3 AM. Except not "related" so much as "directly caused by." But it was OK because I went out walking around Chicago for a long time, and it was so cold and windy and sometimes bright and always crisp that eventually enough cool air blew into my brain and the hangover morphed into a feeling like being stoned. Plus I had a tuna salad popkin at Cosi so later I was wandering around feeling like Kermit in Muppets take Manhattan when I got hit by a taxi (which didn't happen). Going to a museum late in the day with the remnants of a hangover-stoneage isn't really the most fun, I learned.
