I'm off to Chicago shortly to spend a day chaperoning a bunch of eighth-graders going to see the Chicago Symphony and a whole lot of other Chicago-ish things. Fortunately my wife is part of the chaperoning group as well. They told us to prepare for a day of walking, which I did yesterday afternoon by letting myself get roped into an hourlong game of full-court basketball with some big Scandinavian dudes. So yeah, this should be interesting, and I won't be around to do any writing today.
