1544: Where the gin is cold...

I forgot to mention where we finally decided to go on vacation! We nixed Vegas, and after running through a series of alternatives, decided on... Chicago!

Maybe it's being from New York, but when you tell people you're going to Chicago on vacation they tend to look at you with this blank, vaguely confused expression. I feel inexplicably put in a position to justify our decision, like there's something weird about it - which, frankly, annoys me. The truth is, I've never been there (Pete's only been their for business), we don't have the time or energy to plan anything, my passport expired (another thing to deal with!), and... whatever. I don't get a lot of time off, if ever, and I don't want to spend a disproportionate amount of it getting to where I'm going - I'd rather just be there. So, we're off to get our fill of the city's amazing and influential architecture, watch a game at Wrigley field, and maybe set up a bootlegging operation.

And, yes, some part of my weird, little brain does anticipate it being like this...

Well, at the very least, that's kind of what this apartment is like when I'm left alone all day. And while not wanting to state the obvious... I do own those cute t-strap shoes. Thankfully for the downstairs neighbors, they don't have taps on them... YET.
