In Chicago for a few days attending a conference. Hope to get out of the hotel a little and explore – with the camera of course. So far, I’ve noticed the pizza is better than expected and Michigan Avenue shops are not exactly in my price range.

My new lamp. Truthfully, it’s about 4 months old but until Sunday was desperately in need of assembly. Then there was an issue of conversion, changing the plug from Australian to US… but it’s together now and happily lighting a corner in the house.

The bit of the poem seldom remembered:

“…sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.”

Excerpted from “The Road Not Taken.” Emphasis added by me.

– Robert Frost

There’s a park down by the river, not far from my house, where I enjoy taking walks after work. Well – ok – where I occasionally enjoy taking walks that don’t involve golf clubs. Still, it’s a beautiful place to walk and watch the seasons change. Finally change….
