It's raining
I made it to this morning's farmers market and back just in time. I don't know whether it's going to keep up, but it has delayed the Air & Water Show. I have to keep an eye on that, as I am headed up to the north side later today, and need to decide how I'm going to get there (car, bus and el, train and el), which, in turn, depends on what I think A&WS traffic will be like when I have to leave.
This is the closing weekend for the Grant Park Music Festival, and they're doing Verdi's Requien. I went last night, due to the forecasts for rain today, and it was marvelous! I was a bit disappointed that I'd have to miss last night's Summerdance, because it was Cajun music, which I enjoy a lot. However, the Requiem ended at 8:00, Summerdance goes until 9:30 and it was a 5-minute bus ride away, so I went to that, too.
In other music, Tammy McCann did an outdoor concert at the DuSable Museum on Friday, the weather co-operated, the Museum was selling food and wine, so that was very nice, too.
Lecture on Thursday at the Art Institute about the golden orb spider-silk textile that's on exhibit there now. Fascinating stuff.
