slap happy Sunday

Ah Sunday. My sometimes day off.

I stayed up too late last night to attend the Genesius Guild in the park performance of Henry V, which I will admit was a bit bewildering at first, as I was kind of tired from the 7-mile annual road race in my fair Davenport and Henry V  is a very long play that I wasn't really too familiar with to begin with. But Shakespeare is meant to be heard and seen, so I stayed through the whole show.

Sunday morning came around and I couldn't sleep in because I was hired to play in two jazz services at a local Methodist church. Both went well, but took up half of my day, so after a quick trip to the grocery store I came home a took a nap.

But then, I got stuff done.

Cleaned the turtle tank. Water change, gave the glass a scrub. A healthy turtle is a happy turtle! 

Windy

I know I just was in Chicago, but the Amtrak is so easy and cheap to use. I had a bigger mission though. I learned more about the tall ship Windy docked at Navy Pier and looked into how to get a chance to sail on ship.

After arriving at Union Station, I took a leisurely walk through the downtown loop to the Riverwalk. It's really a lovely place to hang out by the Chicago River. The path leads all the way out to Lake Michigan and Navy Pier.

Haha! My name is on a boat!
