That’s what the young man said to me as I was riding home on the west branch of the CTA Blue Line at 10:30pm last Wednesday. I got on a bustling but not-quite-full train at Racine and sat down next to the window in the last completely open pair of seats. I opened my library book and started reading.

We had a beautiful stay at the Palmquist Farm in Wisconsin over the weekend. It was incredibly relaxing and Jim & Helen Palmquist were such kind and warm-hearted hosts. Before we left, the sun came out and the wind was high. I took this video from a hill that was sandwiched between two small ponds over six minutes and condensed it into 27 seconds. It’s not much of a video, but it does...
