Back in Chicagoland
Caught a flight to Chicago yesterday morning after a teary farewell to Porter. Who knew leaving a dog for a week would feel so similar (or what I imagine it would feel like) to leaving behind a child!
So the Sofitel Chicago it is until Friday – I’m hoping for some serious study time in the evenings, although if last night is anything to go by that might not be as productive as I hope. But dinner at Cafe des Architectes last night was delightful and the people watching simply fantastic. A table nearby to where I was sitting contained a mother and daughter who were in their 90′s and 70′s respectively. They were just the nicest elegant ladies having dinner. They started with a champagne apertif and then proceeded the enjoy a wonderful relaxed dinner. They had such style and elegance. I can only hope that one day my mom and I might be able to enjoy a similar dinner. That is if either one of us were elegant and refined and wealthy enough to be able to enjoy and 5 course dinner with wine pairing.
I wonder if after graduation I will end up moving back to WI? If so what will that mean for my familial relationships?
