Memorable moments

I've had a couple of fun weekends in Chi-town that had some pretty memorable moments. Last weekend, Abe and I went rollerblading along Lake Michigan, which was my favorite part of the weekend. The funny part was I hadn't rollerbladed since I was 13 or so. When I pulled out my rollerblades, which I had rescued from the garage sale pile at my parents', I found a pair of socks I wore the last time I used the skates. Ew.

This past weekend, I experienced Chinatown for the first time (Abe's Chinese, by the way). It was pretty awesome to see a Walgreens sign in Chinese.

But the funniest part of the whole weekend was our trip down Lake Shore Drive (LSD) to the museum campus. We normally take public transportation, but decided that would take too long. We got part of the way there when suddenly two of LSD's lanes were closed for a bike race. Which is OK, except there were no bikers on the lanes. How annoying. Then we saw a biker--a woman on a schwinn with a mirror to see who's behind her. She was very slowly biking along. Here we were stuck in stop and go traffic and we kept passing and getting passed by this woman going about 0.2 miles per hour. I started singing the music from the opening scene of "Office Space" where the main character is stuck in traffic and gets passed by a grandpa using a walker.

Also, I want to give a shout out to Gary Bennett from the Cardinals for his game-winning performances Saturday and Sunday. Abe and I are glad that our baseball rivalries are done for the year. I'm just glad my team ended so strong. Go Cards!
