  14. @tinker thank you, you've inspired me to try this in the far western burbs of Chicago. Now to get some volunteers together so I'm not a one-armed paper hanger...

  15. Dreamy #solstice dusk at a lakefront park.

    Got to spend the time at Full Moon Jam with friends and family. Fortuitously, Sir and Their Domme also joined.

    Drum beats, fire dance, laughter, and the breeze from Lake Michigan…

    Sir leaned into me for back support and W/we had some free ranging conversations… felt quite surreal.

  17. Spent an hour this morning going through my closet and figuring out what clothes can be donated and what clothes need to be discarded. In the pocket of a dress shirt, back when I had to wear a shirt and tie to work, I found a receipt for parking at the Pingree Metra station from August 2009!!

  18. We went out for shopping on #Saturday. Met up with a friend and went to Thaliva Indian Kitchen in Park Ridge. It is a place we have been wanting to go to for a while after someone told us it some of the best South Indian in #Chicagoland. We got dosas and finished the day with a South Indian Filter Coffee. Worth a trip out on the Metra!

  20. i captured a beautiful moment at dee park in des plaines, il, last month: a bunch of south asian aunties singing together at the playground while kids run around: youtube.com/watch?v=XvcEbHOJKf

    dee park is a fricken' model of interreligious peace. i saw groups of covered teen girls rollerblading around, and when they passed me by, they were speaking russian! i also heard turkish and various south asian languages. one of the baseball fields is regularly used for cricket games and there's even a cheering audience! there's a section of the park where all the south asian uncles hang out and chat. kids ride their scooters & bikes all around. i, myself, when i was a youngsta, played tennis here and took tae kwon do lessons at the rec center. up with dee park & up with people having enough room to be themselves.
