I'm currently preparing to leave Uncle Ben's house in Chicago where he's been a gracious host. Evan and I were able to run all over downtown and see the Museum of Science and Industry and the Art Institute (where he proceeded to be as annoying as possible in order to get me out earlier). I also did the Botanical Gardens here and yesterday all three of us went to the Field Museum (it's basically for natural history), which was fabu. Also, Uncle Ben took us to Cirque du Soleil which was AMAZING. I now have the knowledge that I have a safety net with my unicycle skills in case law school doesn't work out.
Ohio was nice with the Pro Football Hall of Fame and visiting the Cedar Point amusment park, although I did get a pretty big speeding ticket. That was not fun and I'm now essentially vowing not to go back to Ohio (not to mention the outrageous tolls there and in Indiana). Unless my friends there request my presence I think I'll be fine with staying out. Well, hopefully.
I have yet to kill the little brother, so we're still working out, although he sings repetitive songs often enough that his weasel body might be found on the shores of a river somewhere further west. Hopefully he can keep himself alive and relatively un-annoying until I can shunt him off on other family members in Montana.
We're headed that way next, although we have to sleep in Fargo, ND tonight. Great Uncle Clarence just passed away so we'll be attending his funeral. It'll probably be pretty sad so I'm not looking forward to it. I'm glad I got to hear his family history last year while I still could and hopefully we can send him off in style.
I'll post pictures from our trip soon, when the weasel's phone is able to upload. Hopefully he'll still be around in two days after 20 hours of driving, but there are no guarantees.

Hey honey! I hope you're doing well. It sounds like you're having a good time. I miss you!
I miss you too, darling! What's your house number on Enoree? If I don't have it then your post card and gifts are getting sent to the Castle. I hope you're enjoying the football season, oo. Make sure to have a drink at a tailgate for me.
