...are on their way here. The pressure (from myself, not others) to restart this blog is on, and I've got good ideas. I'm still dealing with a sprained ankle and planning a complicated multi-city trip that's just a few days away...and starting to panic as I think about all the stuff to do. Thanks to everyone who's said nice things--mostly on Flickr, didn't get much of a reaction anywhere else I've blabbed the "Best of" across the Internet...nor have any of my pre-blog/Flickr friends, except for one I told, said anything to me. I didn't want to call everyone up and say, "Hey, did you see the Reader?" but perhaps I'll have to, before I've grabbed up all the extra copies. And one of the "Best of" posters from the outside of a Reader box, I'll confess (hey, the box was already out of papers). This is my "most favorited" photo on Flickr now, by the way, a sign from a mostly abandoned stretch of downtown Gary, IN. But I'm going to try to reserve blogged-from-Flickr after this for blogging from the road (which I certainly hope I can do on the aforementioned trip).

Enough about me. In the past few days I've also added many new people to the blogroll/links, mostly in the "Architecture, etc." "Chicago bloggers" and "Built environment" sections--YOU might be listed now!
