Yesterday evening I spent the twilight and early dark hours walking around campus and contemplating doing an entire post about "NU after dark." That idea didn't materialize into anything remotely worthwhile, but I guess I did get a few nice pictures of the city (sheesh! Look at all that light pollution!)...
The morning dawned sunny and cold--according to newscasters, the coldest predicted high temperature in 15 years (which sounds particularly scary in a place like Chicago, but just meant we had lovely late-fallish 50-60 degree weather).
The wind and currents were whipping up some terrific waves that glistened exuberantly in the sunlight...
I could have watched their rollicking foam-capped curls until lunchtime...BUT...I had scheduled a rehearsal with Yoko (NU's accompanist extraordinaire) for early this afternoon and needed to make sure I got my chops into good condition. Despite it being a rather stiff day on the horn (which usually signals a sour mood), I managed to pull off a worthwhile and fun rehearsal on the Plog (my selection for the upcoming solo class a week from Wednesday), earned $10 for participating in a psychology study (WooHoo, I'm in the money!), and when I weighed myself at the gym after my workout the scale read 176 (that's minus 2 lbs thank-you-very-much!).
Not too bad I suppose.
Yay! Love the pictures. I'm glad you're making progress! I miss you!
