I've been spoiled being able to work remotely, meaning I do not have to rush in the morning to take a commuter train into the city and trek the same route home every night. So today, having to travel into the city center was not disappointing, in fact, it was refreshing. While downtown, I decided it is important to have an adventure whenever possible...that was one of my new year resolutions...always do fun things. I called my youngest sister, who is always open to celebrate Chicago and hop on adventures. During today's lunch break, we traveled through the small vendor circus of the Taste of Chicago deciding what to eat from the large smorgasbord in front of our eyes.
The weather was perfect, a little breeze and alot of sun. Between the two of us, we ordered and shared 4 samplers: an Irish eggroll, a potato pancake with sour cream, a pulled chicken sandwich, and a big basket of parmesan garlic french fries. We shared a lemon flavored Italian ice as dessert. We got autographs from 3 former Chicago White Sox players, and then ventured back to work.
What a great afternoon. This is what summer in the city is all about. While it is nice to work from home, it is nice to be able to harness some of what our city offers during the year-long, no-summers-off, life we corporate folk live.
