I walked around the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art and from the park behind the museum I saw this great view of the Hancock Tower. The perspective in the picture makes it seem like the buildings in the foreground equal it in height, but it is actually much taller than any of the surrounding buildings.

At the suggestion of a friend, I ventured out for a Chicago dog at Mr. J's. I've walked past this place dozens of times the last three years and never went in! It was good...and cheap! (a revised version of a pic posted earlier)

A sight that even an experienced North Dakotan would find challenging. While this morning was cold, my first winter here I taught an 8am class and every morning it seemed to be -18 degrees. After that I requested to not teach that early in the day!
