Here is the church, here is the…
Driving to meet a friend for lunch today (hi Ping!), I passed this scene. Quick glance at the clock showed five minutes to spare, so I swung around and went back.

Guest Blogger: M, with thoughts about his grandma
Today’s post is courtesy of M. He wrote so beautifully of his grandmother that I wanted to share it with everyone who wasn’t able to hear him deliver his memorial at her funeral mass. With his permission, I present to you his loving tribute.

My Irish lass
Yesterday, for obvious reasons, was green and white day in the Bunny room at Zozer’s school. Since the only green shirt she owns has candy canes and Christmas trees on it, we stopped at Target the other night and picked up a new t-shirt. The girl is 1/8 Irish, after all. It’s important she be properly attired for St. Patrick’s Day.

Z-O-E in Chicago
We waited for brunch at a great spot called m.henry, and since it was nice, we sat outside on a small bench up against a window. And we talked, about this and that and everything under the sun, as we had been wont to do since I arrived. Our conversations were really just a continuation of our rambling e-mails. And as I we talked, I looked across the street at a variety of shops and let my mind wander photographically.

Irish in Chicago
The thing about Chicago is, when someone says, “Hey, let’s dye the river green!” they actually do it. Not half-ass, not green-ish, not a tinge of green. They make that mofo green.
