Write my name at Gino's East - Done!

outstanding photography by Ryan Arnold

Living in a big city is so different than visiting one.  I have lived in Chicago for nearly 6 years and have never done half of the things that most visitors do.  I've never really been to the museums.  The last time I was at Shedd Aquarium I was 13.  Ditto for Navy Pier.  I've never been in the Sears (Willis) Tower.

And I've never been to Gino's East for Chicago style deep dish pizza.  Until last night.  Ryan and I had a wonderful date over a spinach pie inside the graffiti covered walls of Gino's East.  It was great, even if I did consume my monthly allowance of cheese in one sitting.  AND...I got to write on the wall.  Twice.  So that is officially crossed off the list.

On to the next item...


Happy Thanksgiving!  Wish me luck in my Turkey Trot tomorrow as I continue on the road to the marathon in 2011!
