Chitown

Sean and I woke up around 1pm yesterday (we had to haggle with the indian innkeeper. When we were checking in at 6 he told us checkout time was 11 and if we wanted the room for the next day, we would have to wait until after 11 to check in.)

We drove about 4 hours to Chicago, which one slight scare where I passed a cop going 75 in a 70 and he started to back up a little.

Anyway, we arrived at Bucky's house, drank 2 beers with the neighbor and Lynnette, then headed up to my Uncle Glenn's house, were we hung out with my 4 year old cousin, delivered a bike from my other uncle, and ate several courses of chinese food. On the menu was an entire chicken, a lobster, shrimp stir fry, fried shrimp, fish, and rice. And potatoes, corn, and greenbeans (in case people from Lancaster Co. don't like rice, as apparently my grandpa doesn't eat rice.

Then we came back to Bucky's and discussed the fate of the Ursinus College Men's rugby team, and what we would have done had alumni contributed any significant amount of money to us. We decided we would have purchased a condemned house in inner city Detroit, then relocated our operations to there.

We're headed downtown to see those shiney ball things that everyone has their picture taken with while they're in Chicago (i know how to spell "shiny," but think it looks better with an "e."), maybe to the Maproom, a brewpub, ride the El, then head back on the road after dinner to begin the 16 hour trek to Colorado.
