Just took a 2 hour lunchbreak. I sat in Millenium Park for about an hour (I am sunburned!) Then I walked all the way to Water Tower and slowly, very slowly back to my office where I removed my tights and shoes and I am thinking seriously that it will be impossible to get anything done the next 2 hours because I just want to go back outside. My boss is out of town and I am seriously considering ducking out of here early and hope my coworkers don't say anything.

I didnt pack a lunch today to make myself take a walk and it is beautiful. I would have taken today off if I wasnt out sick two days last week. I want to go out tonight but still under the weather and drinking last night didnt help much.

Just rode my new Yamaha Zuma scooter around. Sunshine and wind on my skin. Felt great. Scooters rock! But I think my next bike will be a Harley...

i just got back from key west but today is still a wonderful day. of course, no matter how nice it is outside...we'll never be able to match that florida sunshine because it is so much closer to the earth near the equator.

It could be the 20th 70 degree day in a row and I'm always out there during lunch enjoying them. It actually has been since November since we've been in the 70's, or right at about 4 months.


I took an hour and walked around the loop at lunch, and it was obvious that EVERYONE else had that idea. Every single sidewalk and bit of space was absolutely packed to capacity all over downtown.

I'm going to try and sneak out 45 minutes early and go sit somewhere up north and have a few drinks.
