i've officially christened chicago as i had my first full-blown panic attack here yesterday. it was hilarious! visitors at the hancock observatory yesterday got a special treat for their $15 (in addition, of course, to the view).
i've seen some amazing neighborhoods, eaten some amazing food, walked over 15 miles and dominated the train system here. i'm about to attempt to dominate the bus system. wish me luck.

i'm going there. tomorrow. i wish it was 2055 and aliens were attacking. oh well. i will spend my time hanging out with my mom (and my sister some) and looking at apartments. that's almost like being attacked by aliens.
in other news:
- i have a chest cold and i'm flying tomorrow.
- i am more than halfway through the fourth season of six feet under and not quite sure what i will do with myself once i'm finished. read? knit? learn judo?
- sweet potato fries.
In going through some things the other day, I found a birthday card from a few years ago with two butterflies on the front. The preprinted message says, "May this be the beginning of a Magnificent Year." That is so appropriate for us because we always said that our dreams would come true "next year" or "2 years from now." The card was from him to me, and he had added his own words at the bottom. But the sentiment he wrote there could just as easily have been my words to him:
"My Sweetheart,
As I drove away with this card, I realized it may be the same card I chose last year. Maybe I'll make it a yearly tradition, until we arrive at THE Magnificent Year! But the journey itself is always magnificent with you by my side. The two lovely butterflies seem to recur again and again as my symbol for our transformational process You know how much you mean to me. I love you dearly and cannot imagine a life journey without you. May we always fly together !!"
