Picking up after making a mess.
Probably a bit different than the view from your office, eh?
The honeymoon is over... First thing I saw back at the office when I got back from Portugal referring to a huge stack of papers needing to be processed... Hmmmm...

Megan and I went to the famous Graceland Cemetery in Chicago to see all the famous dead people. This is Allen Pinkerton who founded the Pinkerton National Detective Agency, which became famous for saving Abraham Lincoln from one assassination attempt. They are probably most famous for being strikebreakers and beating up or killing members of unions on behalf of industrialists.
William Le Barron Jenney invented the skyscraper.
An creepy grave of some pioneers
George Pullman of Pullman Sleeping Car fame. Pullman Sleeping Cars were state-of-the-art luxury train cars in their day.
Louis Sullivan was an influential modern architect and mentor to Frank Llyod Wright.
Potter Palmer was one of the founders of Marshall Field's Department Store (now Macy's). He also built the Palmer House Hotel so his wife, Bertha, had something to keep her occupied.
Daniel Burnham was an urban planner and architect. He and Edward Bennett created the 1909 Plan of Chicago, which really transformed Chicago from a nasty, polluted swamp town into the beautiful metropolis you know today.
Philip Armour is the REAL "Sausage King of Chicago." He was the first to can meat and to use a reverse assembly line method it butchering (instead of assembling a car, they tore apart a cow). Also famous for being the focus of Upton Sinclair's book, The Jungle, about poor labor conditions and knowingly selling tainted meat.
Is it too late to add "large 'Me Fat' box of chocolates" to our wedding registry?
Phil came to town and we just happened to find Market Days in Boystown. We should have known something was going on when we saw a tranny fight at the train station...
That about sums it up। Back to living a normal life of grocery shopping, work, and playing Madden...
