Went out to the Taste of Chicago today. I am loving the Subway. I am only a block away from the blue line which will take me to either down town or out to the airport. It is a lot nicer than trying to find a place to park downtown.

The park was packed with vendors, people, and music. I saw Robert Randolph. Well I couldn’t really get close enough to see him, but I got to see him on the jumbo-tron. I am glad that I made it down there. It was my first Taste experience, and it was a good one.

Right now is not so good. The neighborhood is filled with fireworks fever. Tons of fireworks going off all around me. I have never been a big fan of fireworks, so this isn’t my favorite holiday. I guess that I don’t blame people for having fun, but I hope that it quiets down pretty soon. We shall see. Happy 4th of July anyway.
