He's a delight.
We took a stroll down Astor Street, which traverses it's way through the Gold Coast on the near-north side of Chicago. We walked by the Cardinal's mansion...past the James Charnley house (A Frank Lloyd Wright at 1365 North Astor Street) and then south on State, cutting over on Oak and then south on Michigan Avenue.
I couldn't resist taking pictures--Chicago was out in all it's Holiday Glory.
Our destination: River East to watch "No Country for Old Men".
We also picked up a Strawberry-Rhubarb tart at a little bakery on Oak Street for a gazillion bucks. In the movie, we had to wait until there was some killing to mask the unwrapping of the cellophane around the tart---it was really loud. Luckily, there was plenty of killing, so we didn't have to wait long.
Coming out of the theatre, here's what we saw---lit up like a movie set, for your perusal, the beautiful skyline of Chicago.
Enjoy.
