Back to Life and Cooking

OK, an observation. Baseball on TV and cooking are a great match in mid-season. You don't really need to pay attention to the game that much, you can be puttering, putting things together, and if anything important happens you can catch it. But with the Cubs in contention, forget about it. Everything came to a halt.

Chicago is the City That Works, cause we don't waste a lot of time being distracted in October.

Last night we went to hear the photographer Catharine Opie lecture. Here's a summary from the press release: "Catherine Opie first came to public attention with her portraits of cross-dressers, tattooed dominatrixes, drag kings, and other body manipulators. She has gone on to create a varied body of work that has in common its investigation into the nature of community and place." Nice change from the Cubs.
