What I was doing 24 hours ago


Every time I hang out with this particular friend, I end up covered in plaster, dirt, and debris. I never knew I wanted a friend like that, but hey...I'm not complaining. This is yesterday's death-defying trip, into a different abandoned silo complex, this one with 99% intact ladders (still plenty of giant deep holes, though) and a sweet view of the Chicago skyline. We were there for the sunset and then had dinner nearby at one of my top 24-hour restaurants, Huck Finn (who have "three kinds of products: donuts, ice cream, and food"). I had hot chocolate (with whipped cream, do you even have to ASK?) and cheese blintzes with strawberries and sour cream. I've never had whipped AND sour cream in the same meal. Huck Finn is famous (to all who know me) for their giant, half-pound "Texas" donuts, but none were in sight. I didn't even see a sign for them. Very suspicious, I'll have to investigate...

In other news, I missed the talk at CAF about Naperville. I've got a book that's going to be way overdue at the library because I want to finish it and return it to the far-off branch (South Shore) myself, and it's on hold for someone else so I feel guilty. Still, if that's the worst thing I've done all year...
