Oh... hello, neglected blog! 
In the interest of getting this thing going again, I'll start by dredging up a few saved drafts I never posted.  Here's a big pile of Instagrams from June/July as I said goodbye to my job and Chicago.

I've really been missing Chicago, but I've been back to visit a few times since then, and I know it'll always be there waiting for me when I have the time to make the trip.
