Chicago

Had a busy week this week, took off to Chicago for a long day of tours and informational meetings. Sounds fun huh! Hehehe. (picture of the Sears tower above.) It was ok, lots of traffic... and for once I felt like a minority (at least in south Chicago). That was a new experience, but a good one I think. The group met with a guy named Gene Corely, the guy who managed the engineering investigation of the Twin Towers and the Oklahoma city bombing. We also went to another company that does a lot of testing and building rehabilitation stuff - it was all very good, but leaving Terre Haute at 5:30 and getting back at 11:30 made for a long, long, long day. We tried sleeping in the van, but the roads were heinous, but somehow a few of us got to sleep (yah Blake has his shirt off... we think Tom and Blake have a crush on each other... hahaha.)

Saturday some of us went back to Indianapolis for the day. We went to the Zoo, out to lunch, and did some shopping too. Blake was pretty excited because he got to feed a giraffe... he called and told his mom. She then interrupted him and asked if he was sober. :D Good story, guess u had to be there. Anyhow, saw all sorts of animals, reptiles, etc, etc... even watched a dolphin show. (picture after we left the Indy zoo below) Well that's about all I have for now. Love you all... Email me if u want, I'd enjoy hearing from you. Lata!
