Door County, Chicago, and New York City - Oh My!
So this random entry has been spurred by reading Laura and Sally and Biscuit God's post all about MITY. And, I guess, it's so hard to contemplate that MITY will never be again for another year. Jesus. Sometimes I feel like MITY saves my soul and I wake up from time to time just wishing with all my heart that I could stride into 06 and sit down between Laura and Dana and in front my favorite dead lepprauchon buddy.
Okay, it's not like I'm having a crap time now or anything (quite the opposite), but I never feel that understanding from any other people but MITY-finers. Laura, Sally, Josh, I'm sure you all know what I mean.
Anyhoo, Door County is THE most beautiful place in the world (despite the stigma of being in Wisconsin). It has the most lakeshore and cherries per capita of any county in the US - and the best ice cream. We stopped at Northwestern on our way into Chicago - talk about preppy. Chicago is lovely and, after my second tour of the place, I am really considering trying to go to the University of Chicago. The whole place was modled after Cambridge University and so looks as old Methuseleuh. But it's supremely GOREGOUS and is a home to a host of wonderfully witty nerds.
One car, four people, and two days of driving. It was fairly painless - much fun. My brother and I are more alike than I ever realized. I wish I could be more like him though, he's so levelheaded and thoughtful. My family is really good fun.
Yesterday we arrived in Brooklyn and went around the Bay Ridge area. Today mom, dad, and I went into Manhatten. We found this really wicked market on the Avenue of the Americas and walked around Central Park and nagivated Times Square and ended getting to see The Producers. OMG. FUNNIEST SHOW EVER. My sides hurt from laughing. Everyone go and see the movie!
Mom, dad, and Tom might get onto the Letterman show tomorow. Squeal. Wicked tickets - I shall find you yet!
Being in a city again is so lovely - images of London are constantly brought to my mind. I miss it. After three whole years, it aches. But, I am really looking forward to exploring New York. Any tidbits or advice you guys could give me about it would be much appreciated.
PS. JD - we're going to see Diego this Thursday or Friday. Hehehehehe.
