It sounded easy and ( Read more... )

A pretty uneventful week really.
Monday I was considering going to see The Indigo Girls (one of my favorite bands) at Ravinia, but between being worn out from all the activity over the weekend and the killing heat on Monday I decided not to go. I'd like to see them live again as I've only seen them twice but it was likely to be a very crowded show ( Read more... )
