I borrowed a digital SLR camera just to try it out. I also picked up a “Just for Dummies” book at the library and will have a go at it over the next couple of days. Here are a few shots I took today while enjoying the glorious spring weather. »
Today was one of those days in Chicago that just made you forget the bitter cold of winter and incessant snow that drove you to the brink of madness. The trees are mostly in bloom, but just enough so that they look young and springy. The air was warm but dry, not that sweat-inducing humidity we know is just around the corner. I spent most of the day looking out a window from 53 stories up, but it made it that much more gorgeous when I stepped outside. The new modern wing of the Art Institute opened this week. Rumor has it that it’s free admission for another week if anyone is interested in expanding his or her culture wisdom. Maybe another beautiful day in Chicago will entice me out of the suburbs for an urban adventure. »
Dallas and I drove up to Milwaukee on Mother’s Day with my sister and her husband to visit, well, our mom. Our very first entrance onto the freeway and we’re held up because of this yahoo. The funniest part however, was that after picking up the coins, he didn’t throw them in the basket. No, he got back in the truck, then attempted a second throw. WHY??? I have a song for people like this, just a made-up tune. “People, stupid people.” I have yet to complete the song. Honestly, I like it better that way. Then it’s completely adaptable for any situation and the opportunities to improv the ending are so much more fun. I find that using the car horn to accentuate pent-up frustration is fun too. »
