I know, I know. Today is Halloween. It’s still October for a few more hours. And really, I tried to wait. But when I was at Target a couple of days ago, I saw my favorite egg nog in the cooler. And because I know they run out at times (and also because the expiration [...]

Halloween is tomorrow, and my mind is in January 3 mode. What do I mean by that? Well, every year, after the Christmas decorations and the tree come down (and I’m being incredibly generous with a January 3 date, because by the 28th or so, I’m ready), I start in on “Mission: Minimalism”.

I got up quite early this morning (5:30!), which means the task of collecting the newspapers fell on me. I’m grateful, because it was the most beautiful, starry morning. Orion was right there, beckoning to me over my neighbor’s house. (Not that everyone has a favorite constellation, but Orion is mine, and has been since [...]

So, today it’s back in time to Saturday, when it was warm and sunny. Our field trip was to the Discovery Museum, part of the Lake County Forest Preserve District.

Wow. The weather gods certainly smiled on Chicago this weekend. After a cool and blustery Friday night, perfection was in order for Saturday and Sunday. We tried to do “outside” things as much as possible during the daytime. On Saturday, we made it to the Lake County Forest Preserve museum. More on that tomorrow. (The [...]
