post-chicago blues
I sat next to a grandmother with the CUTEST baby on the plane. OMG--eyes so big they could eat me up! He was 6 months old and grabbing at things and didn't even cry until the very end when the plane was about to touch the ground. Aw! And his older brothers had Spiderman and Batman yamulkes. So cute!!
A la Mark, my uterus skipped about 50 beats.
Chicago was awesome. Cold, but awesome. That air felt good in my lungs, and it felt nice to see my breath. Reassuring, you know. My coat was great at keeping in the warmth--only my face got cold in the wind. We checked out the lake and went to the planetarium with the super-expensive "pork" projector that McCain complained about. We also went to the art institute, had drinks at the Signature Room on the 96th floor of the Hancock building on Valentine's Day. We also ate at Tavern on the Green, and the night before, we had a long dinner with AWP friends at a chophouse. Overall, it was awesome. I missed some AWP events, but I feel like I didn't miss much. I went to my panel and meeting on Friday and another panel Saturday morning. The readings would have been great, but I simply had a different agenda this year, and I need some space to be social and to think, especially since my institution didn't pay me to go in any way.
