JS and I had an entertaining weekend. The highs and the lows:
* After a failed attempt at skating [freak power outage, rink closed] and not getting in the art gallery [got there too late] our standards plummeted so we ended up going to the Freedom Museum. It was free [appropriately] and it was cold so freedom proved irresistible. It surprisingly wasn't that bad.
* After standing outside in the freezing cold for almost an hour, we went into the Art Institute of Chicago. Saw cool stuff like a very green van Gogh which looks like crap on a computer but was stunning in real life.
* Had coffee at Au Bon Pain and was served by a woman who pronounced it 'Oh Bone Pane' with extra emphasis on PANE.
* We went shopping on Michigan Avenue. JS bought some snappy shoes so look for him classing up the streets of Toronto.
* Took a picture of a giant bratwurst that was ushering in daylight savings time:
...and now back to the grind.
