I used to have Peanuts sheets that said "Happiness is . . .
On the L home from Midway, I kept thinking how fortunate I am to have had such comfortable, fun, low-stress weekend with friends (two different groups at that) who came from different places or stayed where they were and provided hospitality. Lucky to have those people in my life and strong relationships which have lasted several years and locations. Lucky to have the free time and disposable income to take a trip. And, even though the weekend was really, really wonderful and I was by no means excited to leave necessarily, I was still excited to get back home (to Chicago . . .home is such a fuzzy concept at this point)and talk about it all with people I care about here (one in particular).
More later, including Valerie behind bars at Alcatraz, and my love for sea lions and stuffed animals. Just the kind of sick, sentimental part for now.
