By George, She Got It!
So you remember this. As planned, I picked my sister up a little after 5 and we headed towards the McD’s to get dinner for the car. Suddenly, she gave me some amazing news: we would not be sitting up in Section 303 as the tickets I purchased said we would…we would be enjoying FREE SEATS in Section 122, Row FOUR!!!! I am not at liberty to give any details about the sequence of events that led to this moment; I can only “ooh” and “aah” over my sister’s ingenuity, and allow you to do the same.

We’re On Our Way, George!
Get tickets–check. Surprise sister—check. Wait.–check. Wait some more.–check.

Finish blogging and get on the road–check! More tomorrow!

Chicago…My Kind of Town (Part 3)
We’re in the home stretch! Welcome to Part 3 of Melisa’s Excellent Adventure. If you didn’t read Part 1 and Part 2 yet, go ahead. I’ll wait. After lunch, I put on more sunscreen before heading out. By the way, I forgot to mention the weather beyond the forecast of scattered thunderstorms. It did not rain AT ALL, all day, from the time I walked to the train station until the walk home. I was amazed, and happy. I was also very hot: it was 90 degrees (no exaggeration, though I know you were wondering if I was!). I was sweating like crazy about ten minutes after I stepped out…
