I went to morning Mass at my former church Ascension in Oak Park and took the Blue Line downtown for brunch with Lisa in Streeterville. Today was one of those rare Chicago days when the weather is perfect–sunny skies, slight breeze, warm but not hot temps–and the city wasn’t yet flooded with tourists. I walked through Millennium Park to soak it all in and almost wished that my commute home was a train ride to Elmhurst vs. 333 miles away.
