Not Complaining, Party of One...

Would you look at this? It's November. November! But this was the weather at lunchtime today in the fair Second City. Because it will be snowing by the weekend (nope, not making that up) I decided to take myself out to lunch instead of up to the cafeteria where lunch is actually free. I didn't even wear a jacket to work this morning, so all I needed was my trusty gym shoes and I was off to Jimmy John's for a sandwich, which I then ate while sitting on the steps of the Art Institute of Chicago. I felt very "Kes In The City," in case you were wondering :) It will be like this tomorrow, too (lunch meeting), and on Wednesday, so I fully intend to take advantage while I can.

Did anyone else appreciate the sunshine so early this morning as much as I did? That made all the difference...until I came out of work a little after 5 and found it to be dark. Well, of course: Fall Back and all that. It was something of a novelty today. That novelty, however, will surely wear off by December when we'll be down to a mere 9 hours of daylight per day. Sunrise about 7:15am; sunset about 4:25pm. Yeesh.

But in the meantime, one last booster shot of summer to tide us over!
