This is Alex, kissing an 8-foot-tall, chrome-plated, anatomically-correct¹ moose right in front of the very tall and impressive NBC building on Michigan Avenue. I think it’s safe to say that we like Chicago. Even Alex likes it². And I still like my footnotes plugin³.
I’ve been crappy use-up-all-my-hankies sick, but otherwise it’s been a great trip. Oh, except for being stranded for a day in Buffalo after our plane’s steering was broken. Alex has run into lots of fun people at the conference, and I’ve enjoyed wandering around the city⁴.
