Another adventure for Kimkay. Wednesday, March 30th, Shayne walked me back to my hotel (we just so happened to be working in the same building...what are the odds in Chicago?) so I could drop off Edger (my computer case) and the projector (Rat Bastard) I've been dragging all over the city. Then we went and took a ride on the "E". I think that stands for Elevated (some of it runs above ground). Or do they call it the "L". No I think it's the E. Anyway that was interesting in itself. Shayne warned me to watch for rats down there. When we got off the train it was raining...no pouring (I said I would write that it was pouring.... it was only drizzling). We walked a couple blocks to Shayne's place in this horrific storm. Actually there was a storm but it hadn't really hit us yet. Then we jumped in Shayne's super sporty little car (covered in bird crap...well actually the rain helped get rid of most of the crap. It wasn't as bad as Sunday when he picked me up downtown and I saw him coming for a mile covered in crap) and we went to a Mexican joint for dinner. We ate good food, had great conversation and laughed like hyena's (spell check says hyena is a word, but I don't know if it's the right spelling for the word I'm looking for). Shayne is so entertaining. He's witty, good humored, smart and down right fun to be around. Thanks Shayne for "babysitting" me while I visited the Windy City. And for goodness sake, get a cover for your car.

Have you been to Shedd Aquarium or the Palmer House? The Palmer House is downtown and a fancy hotel and nice place to eat, probably quite far from your hotel. When I stayed at the ole Congress, we were close to both of the above.
Okay Kim, pretty good summary of a completely entertaining joyride on the flight of our lives to destination "insanity." The train ride is actually called the "EL". You are correct, stands for "elevated". What an awesome time with a SUPER AWESOME gal! One important thing we came to besides just laughing non-stop, was how to describe your step-parent to someone. You don't want to say "step" and you don't want to say "dad" or "mom", so we came up with a solution for our specific situation. We call them the "Palm Parents" or for short and quite hysterically call them the "P-Ps." I like to relate it to "Pee Pee" for some reason which makes me laugh all the more. Thanks for the good time Kimkay!!!
