Well, I am off again. And I’ve been off two other times since I last told you I was off, but I haven’t told you about those times. Yet. That’s because I’m a slacker.
And let me tell you, this weekend is All About being a slacker. Well, okay, I am taking along some stuff for my class, but I only plan to crack that on the plane. The rest of the time…. Well.
I am going to Chicago. Yes I am. And I’m going to get to go right into the Sears Tower. Maybe Up High, because Scott works in the Sears Tower.
But that’s not why I’m going to Chicago.
I’m going to Chicago because when you are in Chicago, you can take a commuter train to Aurora, Illinois, and that’s where Lynne lives. With Scott.
Yes, I am going to see Lynne. And this means that I will likely take long, luxurious walks, and I will eat really well, and perhaps Decadently, and then I will take more walks to walk off what it is I have eaten. And we will talk and talk and talk and talk and talk. And we will not watch movies, because we will talk. And we will go to bed Far Too Late, because we will talk. And we are getting pedicures. And we might go shopping. And I will visit with her children. And we will laugh with Scott. And we will look at all the things Lynne has waiting for dear Gwen.
For one weekend, I will feel Utterly Removed from all my responsibilities here, and I will come home Rested and fully able to envision Lynne’s world in Aurora.
Yes. I will come home rested and also a little sad, because Aurora, Illinois is So Far Away.
