Had an awesome weekend full of last minute planned fun. Friday Ravinia/LOTR/CSO combo with +Kimberly Hummel it was really stunning to hear it done live, and I hope if they do Two Towers next year we might pop for pavilion seats so we can see the musicians too. And when we got home we had a +Christopher Doyle +Jen Doyle. Saturday sushi with more friends and then Ravinia again with Chris and Jen to see Lifehouse. It was really perfect outside (despite the small amount of rain), and we had a nice little picnic spread without too much planning. Lifehouse was really good, and [...]

Friday I [...]

I don’t really mean the dragon statues, or the massive stacks of books and dvds, the room full of yarn or the 5 computers . . . Well for example we have a piece of art we [...]
