mid-week fun
Until I can provide a fleshed-out account of my trip to Chicago, here are the highlights:
- Megabus, where have you been all the times I planned a trip up north? Screw Amtrak!
- The 'L' is a great transportation system once you get past its convoluted structure.
- When you think you have given yourself enough time to get somewhere in a timely fashion...you're flat wrong...shit can happen...double your travel times!!
- Salome (with Debbie Voigt) at Lyric Opera was wunderschön. More on that, definitely.
- Miller's Pub has the best cheese-sticks ever.
- Kosher Delis are great, but 'spensive.
- There simply is NEVER enough time to see all that you want at the Art Institute...a blessing and a curse.
- Met a friend I hadn't seen in four years, and was glad to catch up with him.
- Got back on the Megabus with minutes to spare for the return trip...but it was a long-ass ride. Chicago needs to switch spots with Springfield. Lake Michigan can come, too...the Chicago River can reroute to touch the other great lakes.
I'm spent. G'night.
