1. i have my mother's hands. not literally - they're still attached to her, thankfully. but at one point during my flight to chicago, i moved my hand a certain way and i was struck by how much my hands are similar to my mother's. they're not cute - i have knobbly knuckles, and the tips all sort of curve in toward my middle finger.
2. drivers in chicago are rude. i don't care if you drive this road every day; it doesn't give you reign to be an ass when i'm trying to merge.
3. whoever designed the merge lanes on the kennedy expressway should be taken out and shot for his poor design skills. seriously.
4. libertyville, il wins the award for friendliness. when i usually run, people avoid eye contact. not in libertyville. every single person i passed said hi or did the acknowledging head nod or wave. one guy gave me a thumbs-up, and another said "good job! keep up the hard work!"
5. madison, wi is totally worth the trip, at least in the warm months. 2 beautiful lakes, lots of parks and open space, nice hiking not far from town, and all the quirks of a mid-sized city. it's like denver without the tall downtown high-rises or the sprawling metropolitan area.
6. tollroads on the interstate are a pain in the ass. please post cash rates well in advance of the toll, so i'm not wasting your time trying to scramble for change at the last second and holding up the flow of traffic.
7. the american league sucks. pitchers should hit. that's all there is to that.
8. coors field remains my #1 stadium of choice. particularly because the beer, while still expensive, is at least $1 cheaper than anywhere else in the country.
9. the TSA should do a better job of separating family travelers, casual travelers, and expert travelers. especially at DIA. because really, i'm tired of getting stuck behind a family of 12 who have never been on a plane before.
10. i prefer window over aisle seating - there is better head-resting space for this chronic airplane sleeper.
11. i don't miss the midwest. not even a little.
