Notes on Chicago, and an August Resolution
July 19th, 2008 by admin
Chicago was grand, and we did all sorts of touristy things, all of which entailed a LOT of walking. My feet will never be the same.
We went to the Field Museum to see the Mythic Creatures Exhibit, we went to Wrigley Field, we went to the Alder Planetarium, we went sailing on a tiny little sailboat, we went to Second City, and we ate at some really terrific restaurants. I will post pictures soon, although honestly, we didn’t take that many photos. The camera was heavy and it was hot. Plus, we photographed all the good stuff last time we were there.
Oh! We also hung out with Ryan and Ariana, and I will definitely post some of those photos.
My August resolution is to not leave Dayton for the month. That’s right, if you want to see me, you’re going to have to come to Dayton. If I absolutely have to, I will take Kory halfway to see his dad, but otherwise, I need some good, old fashioned time at home. I have gone to Louisville every weekend for the last EIGHT, and that’s just crazy. Maybe I’m getting Ohio fever, but I like it here, and I’m not leaving for a while.

WTF? Dragons aren’t mythical. I quote from the blasphemer web site “Of all mythic creatures that rise from the water, prowl across land or fly through the air, the dragon is the most famed.” Next thing will be someone telling me that Fairies aren’t real. I’ve about has ENOUGH of this bunk.
One more thing.
Adler Planetarium + no Pink Floyd Laser Light show = lame
Enough said. JBF

Fairies are TOTALLY real. And they did display a feejee mermaid skeleton (monkey head and torso + some sort of fish body = creepy looking thing) so obviously those are real too.

Sounds like a really fun trip! I have never made it to the Field Museum but would really like to go! And you should spend August in Dayton for the sheer reason that you have likely spent a bijillion dollars making that drive over the last few months!

Tell me about it. It costs $75 to fill up my tank these days.
I’ll be posting some stuff on the Dayton Air Show later – y’all have GOT to bring Jonathan up for it next year. It was incredibly cool.

Our Friend knew the pilot who was killed in the show (if I have the correct show). Sad. JBF

Yeah, that was last year. I’m kind of glad we weren’t there for that.
