Welp

I would really love to see Sir Paul Monday night but not enough to fork over $1k for a ticket

Glad to see the abrupt aboutface.

Today’s WTAF

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekUForUnloved

The horses’ faces in all of these American Revolution portraits crack me up.

Jade fj! ❤️ 🐶

🙄 not one dime of taxpayers’ $ should go to a new Sox stadium (esp when they can’t fill the one they have)

I love him

This is such a horrible and bizarre story. And no updates on the woman’s status.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekUForUnloved 🤣

New musical tonight @goodmantheatre.bsky.social. Music (by Tom Morello) was GREAT. Book could use minor tweaks imho but overall the story is compelling and timely

Guy on the Blue Line straight up smoking a cigarillo and blowing it onto the seats around him. (Everyone just relocated away from the fumes - don’t want to risk an argument like last night’s horror)

Fun! ⚾️

Snuffleupagus is real!

Huh. Color me surprised, but okay with this.

Forgot to post this when I made it this weekend. Creamy milk and roast garlic soup. I also made the manchego toasts then but here I just topped with a little chopped Spanish chorizo. Really rich and very good. Would definitely make again.

Chicagoans saying farewell to Bovino:

On my list to see Ensemble Español soon

Injuries and usurpations. Timely.

Just went out to johnoliversjunk.com to check out the auction items - and public media is going to be helped so much by this. ❤️ Already ~$1.3m in bids! (Could be more - I’m not great at math in my head 🤣)

This is really good. “The Border Patrol retreated from Chicago in defeat, not victory.”

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekUForUnloved

Echo! ❤️ 🐶

“The strategy here is to make us afraid. The response from Chicago is a bunch of obscenities and ‘no,’” said Anna Zolkowski Sobor, whose North Side neighborhood saw agents throw tear gas and tackle an elderly man. “We are all Chicagoans who deserve to be here. Leave us alone.”

Nope.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekTForTelevision The Crown

Back to the classics tonight (well, sort of)

So Greg Bovino and his goons have officially pulled out of Great Lakes? Sheesh. Can’t stand a little bit of ❄️ and chill?? Good riddance.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekTForTelevision The Rehearsal (Season 2)

5.3 extra microseconds! 🤯

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekTForTelevision The Bob Newhart Show

What jobs were the tamale vendors taking, Greg? Get out of my city.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekTForTelevision The Flintstones

Last show of this visit and it was lovely. A cute rom-com that is exactly about what its title says. Loads of laughs, creative staging and sets, and an original story and music. 👍 Pl

Also today: every trip’s “something new” (to me). There have been several this trip! Today I visited the Tenement Museum (so so interesting- I will definitely be back) and the Museum of Broadway (so so *much* - I don’t need to revisit)

Matinee today. Its excellence made up for last night’s ick. James Corden was especially wonderful.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekTForTelevision 30 Rock

Fun in Manhattan today!

Here goes nothin’ 😊

Cracks me up that all of the NYC buses say “Fare Required” - assume that’s bc new mayor hasn’t even been sworn in yet?

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekTForTelevision Parks and Recreation

NYC remains the best place to eat solo at the bar

Credit where credit’s due: the crew of my extremely delayed ORD-LGA flight this afternoon were outstanding - from the cockpit to the cabin. Thanks for making a sucky situation much better.

Welp. Knew it was all going way too smoothly. Once we all boarded, Capt comes on to make us all deplane for a 2.5 hour LGA weather delay. Time for a little day drinkin

Please get this trash out of my city.

#AlphabetChallenge #WeekTForTelevision Ted Lasso

2/2 You think Dem voters would have turned out in the numbers, and with the enthusiasm, they did JUST FIVE DAYS AGO if they thought the party was going cave like this? Jesus
