Friday Is the World

[jennythereader]

Body: I'm doing pretty well today. I got enough sleep, and since I remembered to take my Zyrtec last night the itching has mostly gone away.

Reading: Utopia: Thomas More

Hearing: The Commonwealth Club of California

Etsy find: Some pretty notecards

Project Follow-up: Skipped the walk, since my hip was still bugging me. Dinner with the gang was lots of fun.

Tonight's Project: Walking. Tom is probably going to be spending time with a friend, but plans are still up in the air so I don't know what we're doing for dinner. I think I'm going to do some embroidery if I have time.

Randomness: Where do you want to travel to? I'm thinking more realistic plans than 6 month dream vacations. Personally, I'd like to go back to Montreal (I spent a few days there my senior year of high school) for maybe a long weekend. Visiting Boston for a regular weekend rather than for a con where I never leave the hotel would also be fun. And of course, a day trip to New York City would be great. It's been far to long since I went.

Montreal is a great town. I'm always so wrapped up in family stuff whenever I go there that I've never been just a tourist in it. But I do love it.

I'd love to go back to Boston, or anywhere in New England. And lately I've been wanting to see Chicago. Maybe it's having watched "Ferris Bueller" recently, but it just dawned on me that that might be a fun place to wind up at the end of a road trip.

I am amused to note that I will be going to both Boston and Chicago in the upcoming few months.
Where I will see...the inside of one hotel, no doubt.

It beats being a tourist, though. ;)

They've got a Ghiradelli Ice Cream Shop on Michigan Ave! And the museum is just like Ferris Bueller, but better.

Chicago is a great city. I went there to try out for teen jeopardy when I was in high school.

The late comedian Richard Jeni used to say: "Chicago was started by a bunch of guys from New York who said, 'Hmmm, I'm enjoying the crime and the poverty, but it just isn't cold enough. Let's move west!'"
