hrm... well, judging from the piteous state of my "blog," its been way too long since I've posted...

mom, dad and aaron were here for the last couple days - aaron had just flown in from Panama and so they were already here in the "big city" and kindly stuck around for a couple days to visit moi and get their city fix. it was an all around good time... and it was nice to have the family spend some time here - makes the place seem a little more like home, if you know what i mean. we did the architecture tour downtown, which was fun - got a guided tour of the chicago downtown from a boat on the river with a crusty old tour guide who totally knew her stuff and talked for a solid 90 minutes about the buildings and the city history without hardly drawing a breath. she definitely knew her stuff. soo, that was a good time. and then just kind of hung out, ate food, walked the downtown, slept late, that sort of thing. it was nice. although i came down with a wicked summer cold on friday... still fighting the stupid thing. blew enough green crusties out of my collective nostrils this morning to resurface an entire adobe building. not that one would want to do that, but, you know, it would have been possible. see if i can hit up the adobe masons guild with the idea, maybe i'll have a side income.

well, enough grossness for now - off to do something productive... not sure what...
