Catching Up

Well, this post is several posts in one.


The first couple of pix are from a couple of Thursday evenings ago, when we met in the Loop, and took the Red Line up to the Steppenwolf Theater to see Laurie Metcalf (she played Roseanne Barr's sister on the TV series) in "Detroit." It was a rather strange litlte play about a suburban disaster, and Metcalf was amazing--worth the admission just to see her.

Anyway, you can't take pictures in the theater, so one of these is of Lori in the little restaurant/bar where we had supper before the show--down the street from the theater. The other is of the street through the restaurant window--it was a dark and stormy night, and cold.

The next three shots were taken a little more than a week later at Jimmy's Place in Forest Park, our favorite Italian place in our neck of the burbs. That's the proprietor in the first shot, and he makes a return in the short video at the end--which I took just to give you the flavor of the place.

The last photo is me raking leaves just last Sunday, after watching the Bears whomp Bret Favre and the Vikings. That was a good day.
