After breakfast with Mom, I headed downtown to Lunch with My Phuong, an old high school friend. She's working in the old AAA building that has a giant mural depicting the national highway system somewhere between 1928 and the construction of the Interstate system. Where I-80 is today is something the mural calls Highway 10. Interesting stuff.
Well, My found herself unexpectedly engaged 'til 5PM. After that though she made it down and we wandred over to the Taste of Chicago. Not because we wanted to go but because her boss pressed a large handful of tickets on her. We wandered the crowds and ate, then we rode the El up north to meet up with her boyfriend, and we all went to dinner at this Turkish restaurant. "All" included Jeong and some other friends. My knows Jeong through me, and now they are good friends. Then we grabbed some drinks at a local bar and since we were in James' neighborhood and since Jessy could get me his number I got him to meet up with us. After My and Jeong and company headed off, I returned to James' place and had a beer while chatting and watching TV. Vern came by and as the night wore on, Vern and James, who had not previously known each other, drank and chatted and watched the tube together. Galaxy Quest came on as my lights went out. Around 4AM or some insane hour a storm developed and knocked out James' satellite service. Vern drove me home in some insane rain.
