20th Wedding Anniversary Festivities

We celebrated our trio of wedding and wedding related anniversaries with Legal Day at Half Shell, Sin Day at Grant Park and the Cityscape Bar and 7/17 with Dinner at Agami Sushi. And we splurged for a very nice tea and sugar service set combining china and platinum.

Coast to Coast

Spent a couple of days at Northwestern for the annual gathering of "we're big powerhouses but we are not the Ivies and Stanford" development folks.

All Star Game

Goodbye to Yankee Stadium. Suuuuuurreeee I stayed up for all 15 innings.

Brunch with Mr. and Mrs. B

Our friends are moving to North Carolina, and they had a Thai barbecue at their place with their cute new baby. The wind was wicked, and we met the sales crowd from Saks--who knew Mr. B had been moonlighting.

Dinner at Mr. R and Mr. C

A lovely dinner with Ms. S's workmates at their home. They are the ultimate home fixer-uppers, and their outdoors space is spectacular.

Goodbye for Mr. S with the Dean

We had a lovely dinner at the Dean's house to say goodbye to Mr. S, who is moving to DC. (And I'm cheating on the photo...this is from Mr. S's facebook, but I like it.)

Dead Man's Cell Phone at Steppenwolf

A little piece of fluff from Steppenwolf, but perfectly fine for something in July.

Bonnie Raitt at Taste of Chicago

Here's a short video.

Fireworks from the T family household perspective

We went to Ms. S's workmate house for our best view of the 4th of July fireworks ever.
