Assorted goings on....

Chicago Food
My dad was asking if I had good food in Chicago....short answer is yes.

Saturday morning we had brunch at Blueberry Hill Pancake House....very tasty Irish breakfast of potatoes and corned beef hash. On Saturday night we went to get pizza at Aurelio's which was yummy pizza but not the traditional Chicago deep-dish. I had a very tasty Leinenkugel beer with the pizza. Leinie's is a good brewery that I try to enjoy whenever I see it. They have been brewing good beer in Wisconsin for over 140 years.
On Sunday night we ate at Goose Island and I had very yummy sausage (Bratwurst, Knockwurst, and Thuringer) and for desert a damn good creme brulee' from Alhambra which is a funny story in and of itself which involves missing our train back to Homewood and two wasted filet mignons. After missing our train by only a minute or two we headed to Miller's Pub to kill 2 hours.
Monday we had tasty polish sausage at the AWS trade show and then really good mexican food but I don't know where where it was. I did have a yummy Sol with dinner.
I grabbed a bite to eat at the airport before my flight on Tuesday and treated myself to a SuperDawg, it was good but the peppers were a bit much.

Back at Work
Wow! I did not miss anything. I got to work and dove into making the revisions on my Beltwide manuscript for the conference in January (editing on the plane makes the flight go by). I turned it into my boss and he told me he would get it back to me but not to expect it this week (and he knows I am off next week). Oh yeah, he did not have the paper I gave him last Wednesday read yet either.....SURPRISE SURPRISE! Same ole shit.

The good news is that tomorrow is my last day until after Thanksgiving week.

Greenville is too damned small!!!!
I woke up with a sore throat. I figure this has something to do with going from warm Mississippi to cold Chicago which became warm Chicago to Mississippi which now has a cold front passing through. I figured it was no big deal, I would just stop at the drug store on my way to work. There are two to chose from, a Walgreens and a CVS. Nope, at 6:45AM this morning neither was open! I stopped at Walgreens on my way home from work and got a couple of things but I decided to get a couple more this evening. That was not so easy, apparently CVS closes as 8:00PM in the Delta. Off to Walgreens I go! They are open until 10:00PM....woohoo! Big City time!
