I can now check Indiana & Michigan off my list of states visited/traveled through. Julia, just a couple hours from Chi in Kalamazoo, MI and I will spend the weekend lounging around, going to church, lunching with her family, exploring MI, making omelets & rallying with Barack & Joe in Battle Creek. Should be fun!

If I didn’t have to be in class on Wednesday,

A 3-Hour Tour
You’ve clamored and complained, begged and and bargained, and it’s finally here! Behold, the 17-short-video tour of my new place, commentary included. (Don’t worry, it won’t take you 3-hours.)
Thoughts on a Sunday evening
It’s 6pm and I sit, listening to the Catholic church bells toll. I find myself humming along and I suddenly realize that I know the words only in Danish. My English hymn knowledge is limited to Amazing Grace and a few other classics. Not for the first time since moving, I’ve thought how nice it...
Photowalk: Lincoln Park
Hugo & I went exploring yesterday, walking around Lincoln Park area and meeting fellow photography enthusiasts of all ages and stages.
