CONCEPT
COMMENTS:
– It was a long weekend, but one with little fanfare. On Friday, we had a residents day, so there really wasn’t much to do after eleven. I took CTA down to the Auditorium building (Michigan and Congress) and “poked around” for awhile (ie. infiltration). I met Sam for lunch (ie. coffee) at F212 at a little after one, but we were both in too much of a dolor to make much conversation (besides some noise about politics). Afterwards, I didn’t want to waste time trekking back to South Michigan, so I decided to explore River North instead. I started at Marina City and wound my way about to Washington Park. Then, I took the Red Line to the #6, miraculously catching both without much of a wait, and got down to Jessica’s around six. We ordered pizza and watched Monk.
– The weekend from this point forward was somewhat strictly defined by wedding planning, and somewhat less so by planning the Move. A dreary interlude was more work on Jess’ car, in which we found that the exhaust pipe is utterly destroyed, and coolant is still leaking from somewhere. A much better interlude was the barbecue at Armand’s on Saturday night. I missed church, though.
– The midwest will continue to be clearish in the 70s and 80s for a bit, courtesy of Missourian wind. They’re full of hot air.
