I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

I have wonderful memories of seeing the famous Peabody Ducks. They were part of an amazing trip to Memphis and New Orleans decades ago. We ate so well, listened to BB King play in his club, and enjoyed Jazz Fest. Check out this fun article about them and the man who cares for the marching birds.
These ducks are local celebrities and walk the red carpet daily
“We’ve got to march with purpose,” duck master Kenon Walker tells the ducks each morning in a pep talk.
