response: nice note.

Before the sun rises I have a travel mug and I lightly jog to the train because I always get out the door just too late and there is a guy who works for the CTA at the station near me and when the train is about 2 minutes away he walks in front and starts waving so that any and all commuters that see him know that it is time to hustle and I do and I get to work on time only because of him, and, of course,  a little hustle.  

Here is a picture of the CTA stand just as the sun is coming up and my hustle toward another day begins.

1. White Castle is known for their sliders. But nobody thanks them for their delicious milkshakes! Respect is due.















2. This boutique near our house is pretty great. It's windows are always beautifully decorated!

Assignment: A nice note

Is there something you've been aching to tell a neighbor or business on your block? Sometimes it's so hard to get up the nerve. The assignment: write an anonymous note to a home or business in your neighborhood (nothing negative!) Take a picture of your note, and write why you left it. Maybe you've always admired your landlady's well-behaved poodle. Maybe you've never told the cook at your local diner just how good her french fries are. Here's your chance.
