No snow on our ground
Touched down to a foggy veil covering New Orleans this evening – today in Milwaukee, the snow was banked up against the streets – it snowed a week ago I think, good grief! – then we were driving back into Chicago, straight into a parking lot of traffic and the air outside was muggy and cold – how is that possible?
Last night walking to the Blackbird for dinner from the Hyatt, Chicago stood out in with its muscular architecture and Michigan Avenue with its holiday lights was in its best form – I passed the corncob buildings designed by Bertrand Goldberg and it made me sad, because I missed seeing my friend Robert as the Milwaukee road trip was a last minute addition to my schedule.
Driving through Wisconsin – B commented on the beauty of the rural landscape, but I was happy to see the familiar terra firma of New Orleans, even if it was obscured by mist.
