Dave and I returned last night from a short trip to Chicago. We went to hear the CSO, which was unbelievably wonderful. However, one cannot travel to Chicago without indulging. At least I can't. I will admit that I did not adhere to any diet, unless one considers fried oysters, gumbo, a shrimp po-boy, several bites of pecan pie (deep dish) and three glasses of wine a diet. Wouldn't it be wonderful if that were the case?
In defense of this gluttony, I did walk several miles while in the city. We did not take cabs except on our return to Union Station. I am hoping that when I step on the scale that the food and exercise were a wash. If not, it is not a big deal, because I will be good about my eating and exercise today.
My last post seems to have created a bit of controversy which I would like to clear up. I was hoping that my admission to my own delight at the demise of the Latin program of my former employer would stress the point that I was trying to make...that we are indeed human, and that sometimes there is a sense of Schadenfreude when something bad happens to others. I am adding this disclaimer to clarify that I do not wish for any of the electives to fall by the wayside as German has. My choice of digital photography was simply an attempt to make a point. Learning a foreign language takes years, not weeks or months. I hope that art, tech and music enjoy full and fruitful programs. My post was intended to be self-indulgent and bitter.
Tip of the day: If you're in Chicago, eat! You have tomorrow to diet.
