You know, had I posted a picture of my butt to celebrate the birthday of SunflowerChick, it would have only served as an insult to her and everyone who saw the photo. The overwhelming whiteness would have shocked you all into temporary blindness!

The trip to Chicago was terrific. I'd been to the city twice before, but this was the first time for my friend Charlene. I'll admit that the insanity of the drivers and pedestrians of the WIndy City freaked me out behind the wheel for the better part of the long weekend, but, thankfully, we also walked a bit.

And, damn, did I eat a lot. Despite what the_other_keith will tell you, the food at the Chicago Diner IS very good. I know that, being the health nut that I am, I was happy starting my day with peanut butter and jelly French toast from CD. Of course, the best food of a great culinary experience came from Soul Vegetarian. Mmmm, BBQ twist, mac & cheese, and greens...*drool*

Nice to see that Puritanism exists in good old "liberal" Seattle. I love the *place* of Seattle, but I'm not always sure of the people...
