Getting There

The next time I take a picture of this statue, I will not put my finger over the camera lens. The next time will be Thursday.
This in the garden at a Chicago museum which has lots of paintings and sculpture and stuff.
I am not sure what they are featuring at the moment, but I do know I will go there again next week. During one visit they had a Georgia O'Keefe exhibit, another time they had a truly enlightening gallery of 'Degenerate Art'from Germany during the 1920's and 30's, not only was the art amazing, but the history behind the exhibit was fascinating- and terrifying.

Speaking of book burnings:
If you paid any attention to this, you probably know that no problems actually got solved; nonetheless it's good to remind people what can go wrong and how wrong it can go.
Book burnings? Never happen here.
Keep thinking that.


I don't know what's visiting the museum now , but I'm sure it'll be good.

Along the lake is a beautiful park, which I last saw in Spring of 2002:


At the other end of this park is a different musuem, this one is full of animals and caveman stuff. They had a giant Chocolate exhibit last time I was there. It was so good it gave me cavities.



Not far away is another museum- it's the kind where they keep fish. Depending on what's at the nature-stuff museum, I may revisit the fisharium. If not, there is a WW2 U-boat docked down the lake a bit that I'd like to see.
There's yet another museum too- about machines and stuff. I'm hoping it has a Giant Robot Monster Exhibit, but it probably won't.

Friday brings my 40th birthday.

I am packing a clean shirt just for this occassion, sinceI have a feeling that my pic might show up somewhere - otherwise I'd consider travelling sans luggage- I mean luggage is just for carrying drugs , guns and liqour, isn't it? None of these are allowed on planes anymore.

Bummer.

I've always wanted to get laid on a plane, but without drugs and liquor the odds are not so good.
