Lions at the gate

I spent the weekend whooping it up in Chicago with my cousin Christie. We went to all my old favorite hangouts, and had dinner with my dad and his wife at my favorite restaurant, Thai Classic.

Christie and I went to the Adler Planetarium and saw this, which was very cool and Moby-tastic.

Anyway, here are just a few pics from my new camera.

Chicago, of course, has White Sox fever. I have not been afflicted, as I am a lifelong Cubs fan, but the lions outside the Art Institute seem to have caught it:

I love Chicago.

Addendum: Grey's Anatomy tonight was completely heartbreaking -- a devastating and brilliant episode.
