My Wife
This, now this is a bánh mì sandwich. Mykala made this from super fresh bread, garden fresh cucumber, fresh cilantro, fresh jalapeño, top secret tofu preparation, vegan mayo, and love. Anyway, I tasted love when I had it. Stupendous.
Check out this amazing picture Mykala captured—George was meowing and this squirrel was barking, with just a screen separating them.
For our third wedding anniversary, I surprised Mykala with something she always wanted to do: learn how to work with molten glass. The look on her face as we pulled in to the Foci Center for Glass Arts was priceless! A few hours flew by as we learned how to pick up glass and try to work with it. We made paperweights.
I think we’ll be back for more—it was utterly fascinating.
Just wet newspaper between you and molten glass.
I’m not always a huge fan of Frank Gehry, but he sure knocked it out of the… park, when he designed the Jay Pritzker Pavillion. Mykala’s sitting on the “great lawn” that stretches out from the very high-tech bandshell. We listened to a wonderfully-performed free classical concert, put on during the Memorial Day weekend. The music was atrocious (too much modern dissonance). The night was beautiful. So was Mykala.
The view at the beginning of the magnificent Chicago Lines Architectural Tour. The nice bluish glass spire at the middle is the Adrian Smith-designed Trump Tower at center. I think it’s a great building, and the tour guide during our cruise seemed to agree.
