A Bit of the Mid-West. Across the river from Louisville you enter Indiana. The really new thing I saw there was a huge wind farm of about 400 giant windmills. It was just the most fanciful sight with all that machinery rising right out of the cornfields; I’m not sure why, but it brought a smile to my face.

Chicago is a great city during the summertime. During the 8 months of winter? Not so much. I visited with my mother & sister, ran on the lakefront every morning and saw a play, a bit of dance and a performance by the Second city comedy group. They are the same as they were 30 years ago but some of the stuff they do is genuinely amusing. One can see how many of the players graduated to SNL over the years.
