Pic from Chicago

This was the view outside my window of the hotel where I stayed in Chicago. It's Lake Shore Drive. It's famous.

And the Beat Goes On

So, I've returned from Chicago. I had deep dish pizza like I said I would. Kitty obviously doesn't think it's pizza. I don't care if it is or it isn't. How is it? Well, it's okay. That's it, just okay. Nothing special. The crust should be tastier.

I wanted to update you on my travels. Next week I'll be going to Houston, Texas. Not sure if that's interesting or not. We'll see.

The first week of January I'll be going to Richmond Hill, Ontario. Hmm, does one of my blog readers live near there? Perhaps one does. If that one would like more information, send me an email, okay?

Then, the third week of January I will be in London. I think my wife will come too. I think, we'll see if that works out.

As always, I'll keep you posted.

The Mountains of the Moon

Yeah, so tomorrow I leave for Chicago. I think this is pretty cool because I've never been there before. I like going where I've never been before. It won't be great being away from the family for this long, I don't come home till Friday, but I plan on enjoying myself anyway. Yeah, I'll force myself.

I've already looked up the best pizza places and several are within walking distance from the hotel. Giordano's, Gino's East and Pizano's are all within 3-5 blocks from my hotel. I never heard of them, but apparently they are three of the top 10 pizza places in Chicago. I, of course, am looking forward to some deep dish pizza. Hopefully that's what I'll be eating Tuesday night.

Wednesday and Thursday I have a full itinerary, Wednesday starting at 8 AM and going till 6 PM and Thursday starting at 6 AM and going till 5 PM. The weather looks like it will be COLD! Tuesday has a forecast high of 51º, but Wednesday's high is 43º and Thursday and Friday are looking like mid 30s! Brrrr! Eh, I don't mind the cold so much, but a little warmer wouldn't be bad.

Thursday night I'm meeting a friend that lives in Chicago. She worked with my wife and we stayed with her for a week when we visited London and she was on a year's rotation there. My wife told me not to get drunk. Supposedly she has slept with married men in the past. I'm not interested, so it ain't happening. And getting drunk sure wouldn't help!

Anyway, if you have any ideas of what else I should do while I'm there, feel free to post here. See you in a week!
