Play and pizza

L had another presentation of her school play tonight at Irving. How convenient that her rehearsals all week have been across the street? Andy is in Philadelphia on business so B and I went to see the show. B spent time afterward walking around the school to see how it's changed since he roamed the halls. I think the biggest changes were the wheelchair ramp installed in the cafeteria and a rearrangement of the front office.

Afterward, we drove to Lou Malnati's in town which was having a Julian fundraiser. Twenty percent of the food bill would be donated back to the school. Raising money, not cooking and getting pizza? We're in. We sat in the front of the restaurant and it was such a beautiful night with temps at 70 that they had the front garage-style doors open. You don't get to dine almost al fresco in October too often in Chicago. Nor do you see the Cubs on TV in October too often (they lost their fourth straight game to the Mets to end their season).

I asked E today if she had any homecoming plans this weekend and she said she might walk in the parade. (Her sorority teamed up with their brother fraternity to make a float.) Then she sent me this picture of a mug she received on the quad today for wearing an Illini jacket.
