That eclipse was pretty awesome, wasn't it? (Sorry Bostonians, the skies were crystal-clear here in New York.) I'm pretty sure that's the first eclipse I've ever witnessed.

the skies are perfectly clear here, too! it's gorgeous out there, albeit cold.

Well thank you! Though unfortunately, I think I was less than clear above. The only Chicago eating was at O'Hare, and at the Sofitel Hotel right next to O'Hare. Everything else is in NYC. But keep those in mind when you come here to visit!
