Hello from Chicago

I dragged Cassie (well actually she drove most of the way) to Chicago this week. Been here since Tuesday night, and it\'s really nice to see the city again.

It is a little eye opening though. Living here for so long, then going elsewhere, and then coming back.

All the odd looks and questions when I say I really do like Omaha, and i\'m not just saying that to back myself up in the move. All the logistics to do things and meet up with people.

I haven\'t used the CTA much at all, really ever. A little here and there to go from place A to place B, but I pretty much drove myself everywhere. I don\'t have a car here now, and I feel pretty stupid when Cassie gives me a look like \"shouldn\'t you know this stuff?\" But I don\'t. I\'m not a CTA user. I know how it works, I know how to get to simple point to point things if I plan out the line ahead of time, but that\'s about it. So this trip is certainly overshadowed by her thinking i\'m an idiot and I think she\'d have more fun if I wasn\'t here. That really bums me out to know you\'re holding someone back. Especially when you thought you were doing something nice. It sucks to to feel not good enough.

On a side note, my friend Corinne just moved to Chicago. Go to her web site. Follow her on Twitter, become her new Chicago friend. She\'s fun. Link = => http://kandy.net/index.php Krin!
