Birth of A Nation Re-mixed at the MCA.

The Dresser, Steppenwolf

John Mahoney was brilliant.

John Hope Franklin

Wow. Part of the Humanities Festival. Wow.

Marshall Sahlins

The talk title was "Apologies to Thucydides: Understanding History as Culture." Who knew it was going to be a great talk about baseball???

Election Night

Let's just forget about it, shall we.

Merry Wives of Windsor

Another well done production at the Shakespeare Theatre, even though this isn't our favorite play.

Monday: Global Chicago, Tuesday: Henry Cisneros, Wednesday: talk to the telefund kids, Thursday: Big Donor Event at MCA, Friday: Visiting Committee meeting. Wheh.

A Perfect University Evening

10/22
A Perfect University Evening

Dinner at the Quad Club, and then Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolfe at the Court. Life Imitates Art?

P to Pittsburgh

A work trip to Pittsburgh, but snuck in a trip to the Carnegie International.

Ms. S to Boulder

Ms. S is off to Boulder to help her mother, who's having her other hip replaced. What a good daughter.

Cubs and Ren Ben

The Braves had an answer for every Chicago score, and took the lead in the eighth to end the Cubs' playoff hopes.

Houston Trip and Trip Up

Just did a quick work trip to Texas, where I was reminded that, even though all hotels look alike and you can forget where you are, when you are standing in the lobby in TEXAS, holding a copy of the NY Times, when asked: "Well, what kind of what-for is the NY Times giving George Bush today?", the correct response is not: "All he deserves."

Notable visits: Menil, Rothko Chapel, MFA Houston, and the Contemporary.

Not that Michael Moore

Michael Moore is Legs! Our friend Michael's one-man show about the rise of a "white trash" boy. It has it all. Love the dress, you're a juvenile success.

Mr. J visits

Ms. S.'s father in town for a very nice visit.
