Vacation has been good to me.

Holy Crap, I have done a lot in the past three days. This is, of course, the purpose of having a devoted touristy friend over, so that I go out and become aggressively touristy for several days.

So, I have logged several miles walking all over Chicago in the past few days, and seen much that is new and wondrous in this city, and significantly worn out some shoe leather. Life is good, however, and I will have a few days at the end of all this to be productive and get ready for the new quarter.

So, now I am hanging out watching a terrible Sandra Bullock movie and chilling enjoying my belly full of tasty food and my slightly achey feet.
