been so busy

Work, drinks with colleagues, Frank Lloyd Wright houses, evenings in Millennium Park--been so busy hardly time to introspect. It has been lovely. Somehow things always come together at the end: finally exploring some of Chicago's greatness, almost starting to feel somewhat competent at work (though I still wake up in a panic at times, where's the blackberry), and I'm definitely liking the people at work better. You find your people anywhere eventually. :)

Saturday in Oak Park--Frank Lloyd Write the megalomaniac genius--though the other Frank--Gerry--trumped him (a momentary trump is all my friends) in the evening, under the stars, fireworks over the water echoing off the Michigan Avenue buildings, the Pritzker Pavilion lattice bringing the sky down. It was like this:

But better. Those crossbars have the most amazing effect of creating intimacy. There was no show Saturday, just picnickers with blankets, wine bottles, teenagers with frisbees, and security guards on Segways.

Walked by the Bean as the park was closing--ours was the only reflection. So lovely. 

Missed saturday morning happy (again!) but here's to shared breakfasts, getting out and doing things, design details, and bubbles.
