Weekend in CHI town

What a fun weekend! Great time with great friends!

The Nike Run Hit Remix was a blast...5 Miles of pure running bliss. The start time for the race was 9PM...key learning... Chicago is very humid in late August. Also, another key lesson learned...don't eat Chicago deep dish pizza, prior to running. Any way, as we ran through the streets of Chicago we were rewarded with the tunes of some fantastic 90's bands...Digital Underground "Humpty Dance" and Young MC "Bust a Move". The feature band was De La Soul. As always, Nike put on a fantastic run. Can't wait to do it again next year.

Great dinners....Sushi Samba and Blackbird -Sushi Samba was the best...when I was in NYC earlier this year, I went to Sushi Samba in SoHo and thought it was my best meal of the year...

Bonus...the Chicago Water and Air show happened to be taking place the same weekend. There is no other "rush" like the Blue Angels flying over your head. However, one of our friends is still trying to figure out how planes flying over her head are supposed to make her "feel". Humm...here's an idea, envision a fighter pilot in a flight suit...that might help you "feel" something. Hah!

As for the CHI "scene" and nightlife...A special thanks to Dr and Mrs Miller for the wonderful conversation and nightlife suggestions....oh, and fertility wisdom. Good news...I still have a few good reproductive years left. Back to the nightlife... my favorite spot was Jilly's on Rush. Rush street is the place to be in CHI...other locations of interest Gibson's, Lux Bar and the Tavern on Rush.

Favorite/Memorable moments...

Great conversation and Sangria with my close friend ...no matter how many states separate us, or the span of time between visits, our friendship bond remains strong. Thank you for making the trek into the city!

H getting "educated" on the advantages of tounge accessories...

Crazy cab rides...

H's pearls of wisdom...I think the quote went something like this "I can't remember the past, but I can definitely see the future".
