I have a confession to make here. When I decided to combine cell phone pictures with the “real” camera pictures into the same posts, I would have made my life a lot easier if I had realized that I hadn’t changed the clock settings on my camera after Daylight Savings ended or began or whatever it does in the spring. For that reason, putting the pictures in chronological order is something that fails me at times.
Anyways, we will begin where we left off last Friday. Lowell and I had walked to Buckingham Fountain, just to see that it wasn’t turned on. After the disappointment we began walking to some restaurant where the sales team hosts everybody for apps and brews at a restaurant as a “thanks” for working the Big Convention.

Chicago Rules? This should be a universal rule.
I wish I knew what this sticker said, but I do know that generational wealth is one of the great evils of our time.
I really don’t know what this is.
The Bean again. But this time you had to go through a security checkpoint to see it.

I had never heard of Garrett Popcorn, but apparently it is where it’s at in the popcorn world.
I was tasked with bringing back popcorn for Elizabeth and for Scottie. D. Elizabeth’s order was more complicated.
I left the “party” to go get the popcorn. But I decided to head back.
On my way back I saw the signs of the houseless situation in Chicago.
Walking back to the hotel with Jodi, Michelle, Michelle, Lowell, and not pictured Cathie.
Remember when I said Lowell’s room had a much better view? I wasn’t foolin’.
That mural is way better than the nachos at the Taco Pub.
Have I mentioned that I love street art?
This mural was on one of the walls of the hotel.
That concludes Day 3 of the work trip to Chicago. Day 4 was like a 13 hour work day. My only pictures are of the Big Convention. So I might combine Day 4 and Day 5. We’ll see where it itches when we get there.
