Date: July 7th, 2002 | 2 comments

The past few days I have been making my way from Chicago to the East Coast. Even though I am from Chicago and the land of toll booths every 5 miles, it still surprised me a bit coming back.

Homecoming

It’s a rainy day, slowly winding down, but I’ve felt a little drained all day, thanks to the gray skies and constant wet coming down. After days and days of warmth and sun, a rainy day is always harder to deal with.
