A week and a half in the Windy City is the first part of a two month journey I have away from my California home. In Chicago I plan to go to a few museums, visit another jazz club, see an independent production, and spend time with Paul and his roommates.
Oh and for those who are wondering if it is cold or not: IT IS VERY COLD! I've lived a very comfortable life in Monterey the last two years and am very glad that I'll be going back there this year.
