First ride on the Vespas! Picked up the new Chicago Chartreuse and rolled up to the Armitage Ale House. Parked for free and got our disgustingly amazing hamburger and a Wedge salad. Life is good. #GreenKey #ArmitageAleHouse

Just happened upon a fabulous mural of "local" authors: Ernest Hemingway, James Baldwin, Upton Sinclair, Betty Smith, and Ayn Rand. I have read all but Betty Smith. #art

Got to admit I did not expect a chapter on hell in my reading of the Buddhist Dhammapada. 😆 (And no it is nothing like the Christian mythology.)

Nine! Nine months it took me to notice an olive oil store right next-door to my favorite French bakery. A couple dozen amazing varieties and you can taste them all before you buy. 🧑🍳 #oldtownoil

Easily the most #Chicago thing I've done in a while... I joined the United Club and got the credit card. My first purchase was an Italian beef.
