What started out as a week's visit to my second-born in Columbus, Ohio,
somehow turned into a road trip to Chicago.
Not only did we squeeze an amazing amount of sightseeing into forty-eight hours,
but we stayed a mere block away from my former office and retraced
the streets and sights of my life in Chicago
all those many years ago.

But look who we ran into along the way.
^ Yep. Another blast of adrenaline shot through me as we turned the corner and met with my electric friend. The lure of the orange foliage drew us closer, and involuntarily, my hand found my camera and I was off to the races again.
^ I can't resist Flamingo
^ As we walked in, under and around the giant bird, we came across the artist's signature, welded into the form:
Alexander Caldwell. 1973
Our quiet interlude was over. Suddenly we were fiercely hungry, and after sating our desire for photographs, we rushed off for lunch.
^ Over our Shake Shack burgers, we laid in our plans for the afternoon.
