Sweet home, Chicago

Songs that stick in your brain and refuse to leave are called “ear worms”. They usually drive me nuts but occasionally I get one I never get tired of.

I arrived in the Second City on a one-way ticket eight days ago and haven’t stopped grinning.

I can no sooner get this blues classic out of my head than I can stop gawking at the skyscrapers, the trains and the river that flows around me in every direction.

Like me, life in Chicago struts, hums constantly and grins idiotically.

  1. Sometimes, in spite of everything that’s gone before, things eventually work out fine. I couldn’t be happier about how happy you are right this minute.
