City View

It's very strange to live in a place where there are seasons. For the first time in my life, August seems like the end of summer, rather than a month that even Satan would find uncomfortably hot. I wore white pants to work today and realized that it would actually make sense to put them away after Labor Day. Madness.

So, I find myself trying to cram as much outdoor time in as I can on the weekends before the unknown experiences called "Fall" and "Winter" appear. On Sunday, I went kayaking on the Chicago River. I paddled right through the city down to Navy Pier. It was too cool. The sky was clear, the water was blue, and the skyscrapers were sparkling. To add an extra touch, planes from the Chicago Air and Water show were looping and diving overhead.

I recommend.
