the way to really fly
I love taking the Metra into the Loop. In fact, I love being in the Loop altogether. Between the fabulous architecture, the character of the city and the energy, it's just the place to be. I often imagine myself with a smashing downtown office overlooking the lake, standing at my dream desk at my dream job on the phone with a supplier from Thailand as I gaze eastward. Ha! And so the train ride there is just so fun for me - lots of time to dream. And there's also the people-watching, the scenery, the gentle sway of the train... it's all good.
Jury duty today, however, was not the place to be. Like a good little American, I have done my duty for the year, thank goodness. But it was a loooooooong day of a lot of sitting. I mean, a lot. My a** literally hurts. I don't think I want to sit for the rest of the week.
But I'll have to in order to get my work done - and there's a lot of it. So, here's looking forward to the weekend and a little more fun. Maybe I'll head into the city again, or maybe I'll go visit Hoda and Mark and new little Kiano. Who knows.

yeah, apparently for where we live in cook county we have to go the courthouse downtown. it was so nice being in the city though. a lot of duality there - highs and lows. like, i love the energy but feel sad when i see many homeless people in one spot.

Delara -- you had to go all the way to the Loop for jurty duty? I did mine in... some north west suburb last year. I was sick all day... blech. But I ended up only having to be there for about 4 hours -- they give you such a long lunch and then relese you if you don't get called by 2 or so.
