Tomorrow morning, we’ll be heading back to Atlanta. I’ll be glad to be home, but we’ve had a great time in Chicago. I really like this city. In fact, I’ll even go so far as to add it to the short list of cities other than Atlanta in which I could realistically see myself living. (Well, “realistic” might be a stretch; I haven’t been here in the winter!)
I know I haven’t been doing much blogging since BlogHer concluded, but that’s because we’ve been having a lot of fun being relatively off the grid.
Sunday we went to the Museum of Surgical Sciences, walked around the Lincoln Park area a little, and chilled in a random downtown Chicago Starbucks. Then we spent about four hours reading in the hotel room. Today we went to the Museum of Science and Industry for the specific purpose of visiting the baby chick hatchery. The baby chicks were unbearably cute, and I took a bunch of photos and a short video, which will be posted soon. Then we headed to Wrigley Field to watch the Cubs lose. Rusty has already posted a video of the 7th-inning bleacher-bum rendition of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame.”
I would write more, but I’m too wrapped in up Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and want to read a few more chapters before bed. I’ll write more about our trip and post plenty of photos in the next few days. Then I’ll spend the rest of the week cleaning out my inbox (current unread message count is 112; I’m sure there’s at least twice that many waiting for me at work) and combing through Bloglines.
Oh, and also I just found out I’ll be a speaker at ConvergeSouth ‘07, but more on that later.
I heart Chicago!

Chicago’s a nice town. I went there in October of 2001, cold cold cold. I enjoyed everything but the dumb federal govt conference I went to.
i love chicago….right up there with vegas and miami in my book.
I loved Chicago for the eight years I lived there. The winter, combined with higher costs of living and fatigue with the city’s somewhat-segregated nature (we lived on the South Side, and the racial and economic segregation aggrieved us) caused us to decide to move to Atlanta!
Thanks for the report. Chicago is on my short list of places to visit, though I know nothing about it yet.
