The last several days...
Yesterday I was able to squeak out of work murderously early. 11:30. After prepping today. I caught the 147 immediately, and made it home before noon. On any other day, my plan would've been to take the Red Line to 35th and spent the afternoon exploring Armour Square... photographing the Dan Ryan, Sox Park, and Chinatown. Capturing the leftover luster of Chinese New Year.
But I'm still sick, so instead I went home for an afternoon of soup and sleep.

Jessica's grandfather passed away yesterday. I can say it was my great pleasure to have known this man. He was in his nineties, and still a fierce advocate of the Buckeyes on every occasion. He has been in the care of family, and they have been blessed with his company these final weeks. We can only hope to be surrounded by such love...
Jessica and I will be traveling to Ohio tomorrow for the funeral, which will take place on Monday. I do not expect to post again until Tuesday.

This is a strange, oneiric year for the world.
Expected calamaties are forwarded along unexpected lines.
Wouldn't it be ironic if the world stops turning via our entanglements with a Communist power in a "post-Communist" world... while, in the meantime, a lasting peace is acheived between Israelis and Palestinians.
On the one hand, don't hold your breath. On the other hand, don't be surprised, don't shield your eyes.
