Oh New York. I do remember that mushy grey garbagey summer feeling in the LES. Still, I would suffer it to be Wallace Shawn's personal assistant. I am so happy you are hitchin' a ride back to ShyKarGo! IT has been a pretty summer here and I have felt a tentatively renewed fondness for this place. Autumn is always gorgeous here so you will returning just in time for Chicago's aesthetic zenith.
Croquet?
is that some east coast version of Bocce? (no no, I kid... my grandma had a croquet set. but seriously, I just found out everyone here is secretly hiding a bocce ball set in their garage.)
Also, don't forget to visit me... because I will find you... and make you a home made pair of cement shoes! (yay!)
