Got back from Chicago late Monday night. I carried 20 pounds of tuna from Virginia to Illinois, watched my brother graduate from his MBA, checked out his new apartment, reconnected with the family (nuclear and extended), visited Hamburger University, stumbled into a cool Polish market somewhere deep into the Southside inland, rode The “El” all by myself, went up to the viewing decks of Sears Tower and Hancock Center, met Linnwood, learned about The Curse of the Billy Goat, and got lots of photos. Oh, and I checked out two airport chapels. Here are the photosets, courtesy of Flickr:
