Illinois...made of soy? (...it's hard to rhyme with Illinois, ok!?)
So I went to Illinois this week (ALL WEEK) to visit the fam. Hit up St. Louis and saw the arch, a Cards game, took a tour of the new Busch Stadium.
Then the madre and I went up to Chicago and spent two days touring around there. Checked out the United Center, saw THE statue, hit up Wrigley field, did the whole boat tour thing down the Chicago river. It was sweet.
Had a lotta time to finally just relax, meditate on the whole summer and craziness of it all. Wrote some...mostly articles (below)...but some other stuff too. Contemplated a lot about my future...and present, actually.
Watched "Into the Wild" today. NOT a good idea when you're contemplating leaving everything you know that is safe and secure for an unplanned, unsafe path...unless of course, you know you need to take the latter road...hmph.

I just watched Into the Wild as well! Cuh-razy! It's funny, though. While some people say it really makes them want to just take off into the middle of nowhere, all of us who watched it thought that it made it seem like it was a poor choice. He made everyone who loved him depressed and ended up realizing that everything he had done was worthless without anyone to share it with.
Anyway, my two cents on the movie. :o)
And aww, your cousins! Love those kids. Haha.
