Last night was awesome. At the beginning of the year I had promised Joelene one nice Italian dinner OUT every month of 2009. So we drove to Chicago and ate at the ITALIAN VILLAGE downtown. After that, we went to the Chicago Institute of Art and looked at some pretty interesting stuff -- Monets, Gaugins, VanGoghs, Picassos -- and of course, this famous original "AMERICAN GOTHIC" by Grant Wood (pictured above).
We also saw THIS little creation (pictured at left). It's basically fabric wrapped around a frame with some metal piping trailing down the front. The artist has named it "Hang Out." Go figure.
On the spur of the totally random moment, we decided to stop into one of the Chicago Live Theatres that was playing "Jersey Boys," to see if there were any tickets for last night's 8:00 p.m. performance. They had some so we grabbed them. "JERSEY BOYS" is the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons - with lots of their music. Lots of fun.
Hope your day was great too.
And be blessed.
