Oh, and Chicago is known for architecture (the best in the world),
It's the City With Big Shoulders or something, no?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's the City With Big Shoulders or something, no?Yeah. Or so said the same guy who called us hog butcher to the world.

Boston has the most convoluted and frightening traffic in the Western World! That's got to count for something, right?
Alas, it's terribly deficient in decent Middle Eastern food compared to other cities of its size.

Chicago has a decent university itself.

What is even happening?
Chris tends to sleep his sick away, which is really kind of nice for him and for me. I have a cousin who did that as a wee one, too. Poor little Mac. He's lucky he's got such a good mom taking care of him.
aurelia, I would have said the same on Chicago's behalf. I've only been there a couple of times but as Frankie says, it's my kind of town.

What the heck is Chicago known for?
Wind. The el. (L? Damned if I know.) Fucking O'Hare
Everything I know about Chicago, I learned from Sara Paretsky or plane travel.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
sorry to hear that mac is sick and that you, aparently, are poking yourself with sharp objects.
I don't think we have to be sorry about the poking thing, just her weird doctor.
Jello and coke? I want so be sick at msbelle's house.
I've just finished a lunch of grilled chicken breast and asparagus. Trying to work out how I'm going to eat more healthily on the leadup to the black belt test, and how I'm going to do so with my partner in crime.
Now I have to put my laundry in the drier, take out garbage, tidy up after my year-end filing, and maybe watch Another World with a heating pad clutched to the tum.
And no training! No krav today! Or gym!

Also? If you are a public radio station in the last 30 minutes of your pledge drive, it might be wise to mention the number in all your talktalktalk for those of us who figured to do it now because we forgot to send a check in last month, as we usually do. Or put the freaking number on one of your 2 websites. Or something.
Poor mac.
