Presidents’ Day

I’m not sure what you did with your presidents’ day, but mine was laid back. Well, so far anyway.

I didn’t know if any of my clients took the day off, but it ended up being quiet this morning. Tina and I decided to have lunch with her cousin Kelly and her three boys. We’re their “uncle” and “aunt.” That’s how Chicagoans are. If you’re close to someone, you become their kids’ uncle or aunt.

We met at a little restaurant that has a model train setup at the bar. When your food is ready, a train horn sounds and a model train zooms out to your area and stops with your burger and fries.

It’s a novel idea, but the restaurant was gross. Tina and her cousin were still chatting, so we decided to leave and let the kids play at a McDonald’s Playland area.

Tonight, I’m making shrimp and arugula with couscous. Yum. And we’ll probably hang out together and enjoy the snow passing the window. We’re supposed to get 5 inches tonight.

Now is the time when you make a funny joke about the size of something sexual and then we laugh about it.

Apparently the Libyans didn’t take off today for American Presidents’ Day. They’ve started some excitement of their own. Read here.
