Blooming wildflowers fill the foreground with the skyline of Chicago in the background.
A ragged, gnarly shelf cloud looms over Chicago's skyline. The clouds are tumultuous and roiling while a blue glow and rain can be seen under the cloud in the distance
Happy birthday to #Chicago, the skyline GOAT.
I've had many great encounters with national park rangers and educators. People who took the time to talk to me about sea otters on the California coast and beautiful birds in Acadia National Park and helped me when I was horribly lost in the Rockies and was feeling a bit panicky.
I love this shot.
Great read. Yes, you can be a good person and still make money.
Wool blend socks are so key.
Frigid days like this always remind me of my friend from San Diego who was moving to Chicago and said, "So, I can just wear socks with my Birkenstocks and be fine, right?" Oh, my sweet summer child.
Their barely concealed loathing of each other is so disturbing.
If it's any consolation, I had to endure a drunken man ranting at the front gate for an hour last night because he couldn't figure out how to work the access control pad.
This is how you get people back to the office: money and free lunch.
On a Saturday no less. That is a crime.

It was lovely and full of grace. Funny how some of these people say they follow Jesus' teachings until they are actually reminded of what those teachings are.
"She was nasty in tone." Good grief. That was an incredibly kind, gentle call for mercy and empathy.
They're incredible. I love that their strong convictions and actions haven't wavered over the years.
Nuns get stuff done.
When I moved to Chicago about 25 years ago, the Reader was a great resource for learning about the city and its arts and culture. I hope the paper makes it.
Glad to hear this taproom is reopening. Sounds like a great partnership.

I enjoy the antics of those magic nuns on Dune, the Betty Gesundheits or what have you. When they do the bullfrog voice and make a guy stab himself? Great stuff! Fun buncha gals. Knock ‘em dead ladies.
