I love Chicago. It’s my favorite “big city” to go for business or for pleasure. It you are smart and can plan ahead, you can often get a flight to Chicago for $69 each way, and you are there in under 2 hours.
There’s so much to do and see – and hundreds of good places to eat all kinds of food, especially steaks and chops. One of my favorite restaurants in Chicago is the Chicago Chop House. It is a classic Chicago bar and restaurant. Anything on the menu is guaranteed to be great, and the wine list is spectacular.

Ever since we were so sick around here I’ve been drinking green tea. It’s gotten so I don’t even have a taste for coffee anymore.
I had heard that green tea does a lot of healthy things for you but I am now living proof.
The assorted age spots that have been gradually appearing on my hands these past couple of years have faded away. You can’t see them at all – and it’s thanks to the green tea.

This is an early Easter but I’m ready for it.
Easter always means spring is here, there are baby ducks and baby chicks and Easter eggs and lots of candy.
All the fun of family and good food without the stress of having to buy everyone presents. What’s not to like?
My grandparents used to host an Easter egg hunt at their house for all the grandchildren and cousins. It was always a couple dozen kids running around the yard with baskets and a house full of grown ups eating ham and potato salad and singing rowdy English songs all afternoon. Great fun, great memories.

Finally feeling up to real food again. I made grilled cheese sandwiches and nibbled on a small handful of Lays potato chips. I’m still drinking a lot of green tea, and I think maybe I’m getting addicted to the tea. I have a cup by my side all day and even take a cup to bed with me and leave it on the night stand.
I’ve given up on TV – the only time I turn it on is to watch the 10:00 news and then I shut it off again. I’d much rather listen to the music I have in my collection and have been playing a lot of oldies but goodies to just listen to them again. It’s not as depressing. Found an old album by Robert Cray that’s really easy on the ears. Haven’t listened to him in ages – love it.

Just when I think I’m feeling better I get sick again. About the only good thing I can think of from these past 2 weeks of being sick is that everyone has lost some weight. I’ve been losing 2 pounds every day, as all I can eat is chicken noodle soup and saltine crackers. And drinking lots of green tea and ginger ale.
There’s been lots of naps and lots of tissues used. That’s all I can say about these past several days. It’s been a sickly blurr of bad daytime TV and tossing and turning under the covers.
