In Chicago for business (and pleasure....of course!). Today, my plans were to visit the Contemporary Art Museum, but instead found myself at the Art Institute of Chicago. There's a newish art wing and during February, admission is FREE! I love free. Here's a photo (they would not let me take pics in there):
Am experiencing surprise interest in contemporary art. It makes no sense to me, I don't understand it (huge apologies to all my Museum Docent friends....you know who you are) but I love to look at it. I mean, a big rectangle all glossed out in red lacquer paint, on a bed of plank wood with some lighting to make it look even better is curated in a museum? Crazy stuff.

Well, it looks like it's going to snow. Goody.
