DIARY

The next morning, I woke about ten, Jess at eleven. Sky and Sam had left for work, and Bill was putting some fnishing touches on his assignments for film class. I made us all pancakes for breakfast with some improvising, then Jess and I headed out to meet Dan S.,

DIARY

The next morning we just barely made it up and out in time to attend Mass at St. Thomas. It was a lucky day to attend; many of our friends were there, including Thad and Katie and Father Mike made an appearance at the end of Mass.

DIARY

The next five hours were dominated by GF #7, the Rites of Spring.

While this is technically the first installment in over a year, I’ve been maintaining a dialogue with the Chicago kids, most closely Amber, Sky, and Lisa for about six months now.… Read the rest

CONCEPT

Also known as Trip to Chicago, Part 2

THE SATURDAY BEFORE THE HUNT:

At Berston’s, the teams and judges met for kickball. It was the tall vs. the small. (Last year featured the hot vs. the not). I’ve been on the winning team both years.

DIARY

First installment.

The night before we left Jess and I had called Tom and Michael, my godfather and his partner, to ask if we might be able to meet them for a visit. It was a mixed result: they were in town for the day, but only just barely since they’re in the final stages of a very complicated move to Wisconsin Dells, WI.

DIARY

I haven’t maintained day-to-day blogging. First, I realize most of you aren’t interested in my daily day-to-day daze quite so much, but part of my use of this blog is as a journal; I order things here so I can remember causes and effects years down the line.

DIARY

– WEATHER – It’s supposedly going to storm out here, but I haven’t seen it yet. The jet stream has receded northward, bringing record temperatures (above 100) to the western third of the nation. Meanwhile, another storm will be pulled into New England this weekend.

DIARY

– TODAY – A woman’s high heel fell off on the subway platform. A student gave it back to her.

– WEATHER – In Chicago, throughout our trip, it was warm and fair until Scavhunt started. Then it was cold and rainy.

EVENT

While I’ve been gone:

New York Times: Auto Union Leaders Are Authorized to Call a Strike.
