And All That Jazz

Tomorrow I am going to visit downtown Chicago, something that I, even though being a resident of Illinois for 20 years, have never done. It should be interesting. I'm a bit of a country girl, so the city will definately be an educational experience. I wouldn't say I am country in the linedancing, Garth Brooks listening, Nascar fan kind of way, but just that cornfields and peace and quiet are things I'm used to.
I've been to a couple other cities: Seattle, Washington D.C., Montreal, and I get a bit of arenaline rush from the crazy pace of everything, but Chicago feels distinctly industrial somehow. We'll see.
No word from the boyfriend. My latest conclusion is that he's been eaten by bears. *shrug*.
35 days till I can go back to college.

If your conclusion should prove correct, let's all pray that it's our favorite fire-prevention spokesbear, Smokie. ;)

The late great Mitch Hedberg once noted that in England, they have Smacky the Frog as a fire prevention spokesanimal. Although the idea of a frog is much cuter, Smacky still can't eat boyfriends that don't write letters. :)

I will put him in a mayonaise jar, with a stick and a leaf. Because that's what he's used to.
:D
