Oh Right... Rain

I met yet another blogger. Only there is nothing Yet Another about Duff. She is one of a kind and just so much fun. She showed Jen and I some of Chicago that I doubt we would have seen without her. We had a lovely dinner at a place that Duff has so much clout she ordered something not on the menu and they made it anyways for all of us. OK it was on the lunch menu, but they still made it. Our server was hung over so I offered him an advil, but he said no thanks he would tough it through with water. OK then.

Duff took us to Wrigley Field and therefore a ride on the 'L' (or is it "EL"?) I dunno they mark the stations on the map with an M. Then we went to a pub when I tried beer for the second time and yes I'm afraid I still hate it. My biggest issue with the like 2 micro sips of beer I had was that it seemed to just set up shop in my stomach and so I couldn't shake the taste.

Then we went back towards the 'L' and the rain really kicked in. See in Seattle when it rains on us we just ignore it and it goes away. You know it goes away in several... months. It's not heavy rain and usually isn't windy. Well the rain in Chicago did not treat us so well. I don't want to sound like I'm whining, but I got wet and me without my gortex(tm).

Just to end on a positive note. Thanks to Duff not only for dinner! You so didn't have to do that. Also thanks for the walking tour and the very entertaining conversation. We had a great time.

Oh if you didn't click on any of the "duff" links then check out the sidebar because I'm adding a link...
