Tom and I are in Illinois currently for a nice long weekend for a first communion for one of Tom's 18 nieces and nephews (and no, I'm not exaggerating). It was nice to step outside and feel a bit of nice humidity, actually hear some real thunder and look around at my old environs here in Chicagoland. So we head to the Republican stronghold that is Central Illinois for the communion tomorrow afternoon but in the meantime, Tom and I are hanging with my parents here in the Windy City... well, in a suburb bordering Chicago, which would make it Windy City-adjacent.
As I'm in a familial mood, I want to take a second and wish my older brother Matt a belated happy birthday (as it was yesterday). He's the one that lives in Italy, and is the very, very talented artist. You can check out his website here. Happy (belated) birthday, bro. Drink yourself silly this weekend.
