I had the rare free morning on tour in Chicago yesterday. It was cold and a little gloomy but it wasn’t raining. Good walking weather. The city was really rubbing me the right way. (So I rubbed it back.)
Lake Michigan was a perfect emerald green. I thought of Amy Krouse Rosenthal, who made her home here, and her “Plan Be”: “existing only in the present.”
And I thought of the photo hanging in the Chicago Public Library of Kurt Vonnegut holding his library card.
