– Entering week three of no job… distinguishing features between weeks and weekends begin to disintegrate. The weekend is when my friends are more available.

I haven’t been consistent in updating here, but minus my time in England I have been in Chicago. The first part of the month was uniformly chilly, typically in the thirties and forties. More recently, it’s vacillated between chill and rainy days and humid and warm days.

Here’s what I’ve been doing since then.
The wife picked me up at the airport last Wednesday evening (wow, has it already been a week?) and we zipped home via the Mexican restaurant La Gallo Bravo. That night we started a nature film that we were too tired to finish.
