Rockford and I just got back from visiting Amy and Joe in Chicago. It was a lovely, lovely time. I don’t get to spend nearly enough time with Amy. We ate at Frontera Grill, watched “Whatever Works” at a humid and vaguely stinky theater and “Bonnie and Clyde” in Amy and Joe’s perfectly temperate and not-at-all stinky living room, Rockford and Joe went to the new Tarantino movie while Amy and I watched the “Project Runway” premiere, we went bowling — I had two strikes! Unheard of! — and found a great used bookstore.
I highly recommend spending a weekend with Amy and Joe. They’re terrific hosts.
That sounds like so much fun!! If we ever get to go to Chicago, I’m definitely going to hang out with Amy. Our summer vacation this year involves taking a 3 year old and a 3 month old on a 12-hour car trip, then a 6-hour car trip, then another 6-hour car trip back & another 12-hour car trip back. So, basically, I will be buying the BIG bottle of Advil at Sam’s Club, and my tooshie might take over the shape of the car seat.
