Day 285 can see the stars

The moon tonight is really really great. I don't think it's a full moon, but it's close. It is gigantic in the sky though. Also tonight I just realized you can see the stars in Chicago. The previous two cities I lived in, that didn't happen! NYC - dirty air, pollution, etc... Seattle - clouds, rain, etc... I feel a little spoiled by this new development!

Day 192 saw stars

How cute are these ice cubes? They don't really serve any purpose, other than cheering up my beverage. Did I ever mention I won Most Patriotic in 8th grade? I'm still trying to figure that one out. I guess these star ice cubes are just further proof that I love America.
